Question : I'm looking for some fairly inexpensive 1U or 2U computers that run W98SE, have USB 2.0, and have gigabit nics

I'm looking for up to 36 1U or 2U sized rackmount systems.  They will running a special project that'll require Windows 98SE, USB2.0, and gigabit network cards.  Other than that, nothing else matters.

I'm hoping someone knows of a perticular model that'll fit the requirements well, or possibly know someone who's got just what I'm seeking, with all the business closings across the country.

Check on eBay.  The IBM eServer 325 is a good series, and can be found for between $50-$70 dollars shipped.  I don't know if it supports Windows 98SE, but you could always install Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/) and then use VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) and virtualize the windows 98 boxes, just passing the network cards directly to the 98SE OS.
