Runs Windows ME (yuk!) out of the box, but I'm guessing you could rebuild
it into a linux box.

We use a lot (like a 1000?) of these sort of server boxes for our Gaming
business. http://www.homelanfed.com A few comments:
1) Usually these servers are pretty deep cases and would stick way out
of the back of a normal rack full of studio equipment. This one looks
pretty cool at only 13" deep.
2) Be sure on this one that you like the motherboard in the box. It
doesn't look like a normal PC MB but something considerably smaller. Not
sure if you can replace that one very easily.
3) In general these cases are meant to go into noisy server rooms, which
are made noisy be noisy servers. (Get my point?) Anyway, I don't see any
specs on what sort of noise this one produces, but even one of those we
have here in the office would drive you nuts in 15 minutes I think.
(Even in a closet they are too noisy!)
I love the idea of a stack af about 8 of these running Linux apps. Oh
yeah, the HomeLAN guys run a lot of Linux servers....

Looks like a micro atx mobo. They are standard and what I use in my
portable.

Yep. not suited to a quiet studio environment but quite fine for on the
road/club environment recording/playback.

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street.
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before
the arrival of U.S. troops.

Sorry. Yes of course it's a standard motherboard. (Or I think it is.)
I was really referring to the idea that if someone bought one fo these
machines and then had performance problems and wanted to put another MB
in the box they would find themselves limited by the MBs in that form
factor. (I.e. - what processor speeds, how much memory, etc.) It's not
as open as the more standard desktop size in this case.
The deeper 1U case will take the standard bigger MB with the
disadvantage of being deeper. You can also get either a 2U or 3U rack
mount case that will take a standard larger MB (I forget what that MB is
called) and you can do water cooling in 2U and 3U so the machine is fine
for a studio but not so portable.
Lots of options!

Search on micro atx here... there's several.
It seems like most manufacturers make one.
