I believe this is where we bought them from. http://www.swt.com/thin3.html . 
We have bought several workstations from there as well, (dual athlons) with 
zero problems.  We have been using the workstations for over 1.5 years, and 
the 1u servers for just over a year with zero problems.  

FWIW, we have installed Red Hat 7.3 on the 1u and it found all hardware 
without a problem.  We have about 20 of the workstations spread out over 
eastern NC.  <bashful> they have been running windows 2000K flawlessly as 
well </bashful>.  We used these machines to replace dual xeon compaq scsi and 
the users have noticed no difference.
