Hey folks -

Yet another OT request, but this one is mildly interesting.  I'm looking
into putting "lots of Linux boxes" in a rack, and I need a source of
cheap low- to mid-range PCs (say Celeron 500s with 128MB) which come in
a small (1U or 2U) rack format.  The higher-end stuff is covered by
something like the Dell PE2450 (yummy, btw), but I also need a couple of
low-end boxes like this to do firewalling/NATting duty.

I got a couple of 1U boxes from Sight Systems in the UK last year, but
I'm not amazingly happy with them.  ISTR seeing some Intel 2U boxes
somewhere; anyone got further information?
