This sounds like the "ISP1100" chassis.  From everything I can find
on it, the motherboard isn't available seperately.

Well there is a dual slot 1 motherboard where the slots are on their side.
I believe the "VA Linux 1000" uses it, and I believe the IBM Netfinity
4000R.  I was thinking that was a L440GX, but I hadn't checked the
Intel web site. :)

That would be cool.  I'm fairly sure it would be the ISP1100.

Yeah, it doesn't need to be anywhere (geographically) near the Valley.

Thanks.
