Yes.  Mine is in a normal PC-style 2U rackmount case, with a horizontal
PCI riser card.

Well. lets see.  ohno.mrbill.net (aka sunhelp.org) is a 440Mhz/4megL2
AXi, 256meg RAM, internal 9G drive, external D1000 (hanging off a
PCI diff. card) with lots-o-drives.  It pushes about 750meg of email
a day, and about 250-300 meg of web traffic, plus all my personal
stuff (small irc network, etc).

bash-2.03$ uptime
 11:16pm  up 11 day(s), 22:52,  5 users,  load average: 0.21, 0.32, 0.41

They rock.  Just be sure to install the latest firmware "patch".
