We just got a bunch of 1U machines from Arista, here is our spec:
Celeron 500Mhz
64MB ECC memory PC100
BX chipset
Intel 82559 on board
VGA
13.5G Hard Drive
1.4M Floppy
CDROM
DLink 4 port ethernet card
USB/Serial/Parallel/Keyboard/Mouse ports.

Their SBC also support the new PIII and they also have a new dual CPU SBC
board as well. So if you don't need another slot this is an nice box.
It's nice having 8 machines in 8U that could run any OS (that's why we
spec'ed a disk drive, CDROM and floppy.
