If it's the standard dual-proc 1u little rackables, it's the tyan.

I had one running -STABLE and -CURRENT running under my desk for a while
without any problems, although we have several on site running Linux

Can't say I've seen NMI storms on them at all. Apart from the IDE DMA and
linux bugs they've been quite stable.
