Beats the crap out of a Cobalt of equal price. Anyone know if their control panel is good? And what kind of ram is compatible with it?

The control panel on the NE boxes are Webmin!!

These servers should take any ECC/PC100 or 133 Chips

Network Engines build both IBM Netfinity 4000r and VALinux 1000 series ... So, the company is pretty solid with very reliable hardware ....

VA Linux is gone (as a hardware provider). IBM no longer OEMs their box, they are now doing there own.

Network Engines is nothing but hardware. The "Lights out" management is good, but requires daisy chains. That is a pain for me. As hardware, it is way over priced.
