[cobalt-users] Recycling a RaQ2 with an IA32 mobo

[James Ogley <james.ogley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We've got a bunch of RaQ2s that we're gradually phasing out of use,
because they're getting on a bit, and the MIPS CPUs aren't up to much.

We've had a crazy idea about recycling the cases to build 1U Intel/AMD
based machines, and were hoping that someone else might have done this
before, or knows what form factor the mobo in the RaQ2 is, and could
recommend a board we could use?

Alternatively, if someone knows that this really is as insane an idea as
it sounds and wants to head us off before we go through a lot of pain,
heartache and tearing out of hair, that would also be appreciated. :)

TIA

James
