Gumstix have a good amount of kick (64Mb SDRAM, 400Mhz Xscale, 4Mb flash) and cost $99 bucks for the base unit. I know people have run JamVM on them, so Sable should be possible. They're the size of a packet of cigarette papers, so not exactly what you asked for, but they've recently started setting up 'gumwad's - gumstix-based compile farm clusters. $2000 dollars would get you a dozen, and they'd all fit in 1U :) See the mailing list archives for more information. see http://gumstix.org -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/
