Just won an auction for a 1U rackmount server on eBay :D 2x2.6Ghz Xeon, 4GB DDR RAM, no HDD.
I wanted a small rackmountable computer for recording audio and stuff (1U or 2U), and this was too cheap to resist. I figured a server was a better option than a rackmount case, because they're designed to be able to run in cramped conditions for long hours without overheating (although I won't be running mine that much, maybe 2-3 hours at a time). A lot of the time they worked out cheaper as well, although most of them around the same price I got this one for were 2.4Ghz P4s with 1GB RAM.
£32 including postage. I'll upload some pics when I get it :)
