I can recommend any SuperMicro system without reservation. They use passive
CPU cooling with ducted airflow and generally high quality components. You
have a choice of hot-swap SATA or U320 SCSI, or the usual P-ATA stuff. They
make a very "shallow" 1U rackmount as well which is 1/2 the depth of normal
1U stuff.
SuperServers start at around $425 w/o CPU, RAM, or HDD. They come with
floppy, cd-rom, dual 100/1000BaseT NICs, USB, and on-board ATI graphics or
Intel EXTREME chips which are well-supported by X11 DRI for 2D acceleration.
You can pickup a barebone SuperMicro Server 5013G-M for about $425, plus
RAM, HDD, and CPU.

This supports both 400FSB and 533FSB Northwood P4s. Northwoods run really
cool too.
I've ordered 6 servers from ASA, they've given me excellent service. Abhi
Shah done rightly by me on numerous occasions.

PS: You can get them in an all black finish.
