Yup - the iNTEL unit are going to be our default servers.

Well it's not QUITE a normal motherboard.  It has two Intel 100's
on it.

No video control - but the nice thing is that none is needed - 
basically a 'lights out' environment machine.

On boot the BIOS is redirected through a serial port.  That means
you can configure the BIOS and make changes through a serial port.

That means you can remotely power cycle and set/check BIOS on boot
through a serial port, and then have that serial port come to life
in the OS on boot.

I'm getting about 8MB/sec reads/writes with an IDE - and for
higher-powered systems we'll put in SCSI.  iNTEL has just announced
a 4RU version to go along with the 1 and 2 RU units.

Nice machine and priced reasonably, IMO.
