I'v got some Intel SBT2 white box servers with SCSI RAID and 5 bay hot swap 
trays, redundant power supplies and no optical drives that also include 2x 
933 PIII Xeon CPUs - they are heavy mothers, but if anyone here wants one, I 
can let them go CHEAP. I'm willing to part out a couple, if someone just 
wants the CPUs...

They run Solaris 10:

They are in an SC5000 chassis:
