I've posted here about my experiences with Supermicro boards (relabelled and
sold by 8anet.com) in Antec cases; I'm very happy with them. 12GB and 16GB, two
Opteron 265s (dual-core) in one, two 244s in the other. The only thing missing,
as far as I can tell, is good support for the temperature sensors :-)

One of them (A8DAE) has onboard ATI video. Should fit in a 2U case, I'd guess,
except that it's slightly extended ATX format. They sell 

I've been investigating the 4GB memory DIMMs that are starting to appear, in
order to put 32GB into one of the machines, but haven't found the money yet. In
theory, the motherboards support it...
