Right-o, I think it is all pretty standard stuff, but I'll keep an eye out for you...

Oh, how about a Sparc AXe MB in a case? It is one of Sun's OEM motherboards, uses U5/10 RAM (IIRC), IDE drives, an dincluded framebuffer? I wouldn't call it fast, but it is reasonable, and just a bit off the beaten track...
