I looked at a number of these that were mentioned along with a few others.
They're definitely cool, but they ain't cheep. I would like to stick with ATX
for price/performance.
For kicks I hacked the wires on an ATX power supply and put two motherboard
connectors on it. It workz as long as you don't mind having to power them up
simultaneously. I would like to track down some gear that lets me measure how
much the PS is drawing to see how many more boards I can pile on.

I was thinking netbooting--no local storage.
Thanks to everyone for suggestions,
