Tyan GX28 (B2882) will be a cantidate, but you be warned of:

=2D It's an 1U blade.
=2D Doesn't have too much disk I/O power (SATA conected to PCI 32/33).

In the other hand:

+ dual core CPU support official By tyan.
+ Free PCI-X 64/133 slot.
+ Broadcom BCM5704C dual channel to PCI-X bridge.
+ Intel 82551QM to PCI 32/33

I doesn't try run this with just a dual-core CPU.  ALso this will limit=20
RAM to 4 slot/ 8 GB.

So think in a base 244 (x2) system with DDR333 (x4).
