I see that they use some SuperMicro motherboards and chassis.  At least
in the system they have that is like one we use a lot of
(http://www.thinkmate.com/System/XS4-1100).  Thanks for the pointer.
Part of our consistency problem is the local supplier who likes to swap
in what he has too much of in stock - no matter what we really ordered.
Delivery is always a 'process'.
