Evolution xtreme
Have a demo machine in a small box.
about a foot cubed
Has a hyperthreaded CPU 1GB RAM and they even put a 128MB Geforce on it.
Otherwise it has room for 1 PCI slot i think.
Its been running non-stop for over 2 months now. When i say non-stop i
don't mean without a reboot it is running XP after all.

Heat is always an issue with these though. Cupboards and modern
computers don't go too well together. Remember the days  when CPU's were
big and heat sinks were not. I remember running the old P133 without a
fan on it at all. In-fact one day i crossed the fan wires wrong and i
was actually heating up the CPU and it still ran.
