Actually, SuperMicro does this pretty well these days. There are a few
other companies building "generic" 1U servers (although they st

may not be as bad with other systems. But in general, expect some
funkiness, or don't buy a 1U.
FWIW, Dell makes some decent 1U servers. One of them "starts" at $600,

Since you asked :-), Debian (and some other distros) can be installed
with a few floppies -- enough to get a base OS up and the NIC working. You
can then easily do the remainder of the ins
This thread makes me ache; last July we were essentially
giving used 1U servers away free while trying to dispose of
the assets of Mission Critical Linux. They had commodity
motherboards in the 400-800MHz range equipped w/commodity
peripherals including CD, floppy, USB, Enet, etc - not

To address the original question... 1U servers are expensive, even on
the cheap end. A 1U case alone is usually $250-$450 dollars, then you
have the cost of the components/etc.
If this is just for personal use, I would suggest maybe getting a Cobalt
Raq4, and run

These guys have something around $1K. Alhtough I have no experience
with this particular model, we do have several of Pogo's StorageWare
3800's in service as NAS boxen and have been quite happy with them.
They came preloaded with version of RedHat8/9+some_extra_stuff which

To help get the list back on track..
Anybody know of a decent 1U server, for cheap (under a grand if not
under $500) with good Linux support.
I'm looking for a secondary server to setup at work here with my colo
but I'm already pushing the envelope for space they gave me for free.
