We have a small cluster of Newisys 2100 dual-Opteron 1U-nodes.

our NDA prevents me from going into much praise, but I can say that they
*do* have execellent environemental monitoring of just about everythinbg on
the Mobo. You can even get a live output of the current power consumption
:-) (which of course relates to another long running thread on the beowulf
list). 


Yours,
Daniel.
