You were not talking to me  but stimulated me to put back online a few 
pictures
of our cluster of motherboards about which I posted earlier :

http://www.univ-lemans.fr/~fcalvay/jackywulf/index.html

In particular there is now a closeup of the mounting system for the 
motherboards,
using rails.

The system is made of 8 AMD  CPUs with 1GB of RAM each,
the motherboards have integrated NICs, no video, and everything is managed
with clustermatic over PXE.
