I have three native machines:

 Supermicro 5015A-H w/500GB IDE: fossil/venti/auth/dhcpd/tftpd

 Supermicro 5015A-H (diskless): CPU server

 Via EPIA-EK (1GHz C3 Eden-N processor) (diskless): terminal

When I move back onto the boat I will be adding another CPU server
with a whack of serial ports that will talk to all the comm and nav
gear.  For this I'm leaning towards a PC/104+ system; they're small,
very low power, and have oodles of I/O expansion capability (like ADCs
that can hook up to the engine sensors for things like water/oil
pressure and temperature, tank levels, etc.).
