If you are looking for something like this but ready to go, I am  
selling my 2U PIII-based systems for $99 each also:

Intel Server Motherboard L440GX+
2x PIII 850Mhz (Slot 1) -some slower ones available for less $
1GB RAM (2GB total can be installed if you have 4x 512MB PC100 ECC)
2x 18GB SCSI drives
floppy/ IDE CDROM
dual 80MB/s Adaptec on board
2x ATA/33 IDE channels (they expected you to use SCSI drives  
apparently!)
3 Intel ethernet interfaces (fxp 10/100)
have BIOS capable of console redirection so you can connect to them  
via serial
2x USB, 2 9pin serial, onboard video

They were made by Telenet, which did a lot of BSD systems back in the  
day.

Stainless steel chassis, rack ears front (fixed) and back (sliding,  
bolt onto the chassis directly).

Perfect for Centos5, playing around with Xen, Solaris x86, etc.
