Go here: http://www.racksaver.com/products/RS1100Matrix.asp And read this: http://www.racksaver.com/clusters/index.asp So, apparently RackSaver has no problem integrating 2 Athlon MPs into a 1U chassis. And, they offer a choice of motherboards in the 1U chassis, so apparently they've created a few custom cooling solutions for Athlon MP in 1U, due to the different motherboard layouts. If they're stuffing standard 19" racks full of the 1U dual Athlon MP servers to create supercomputing clusters, I'd guarantee they've worked out any thermal issues.
