Yes, look for a 'book pc'. Several vendors make machines
like this. Basicly they are tine bare bones systems. I
use one for my mail/file server. It isn't expandible (aka
no slots) but it comes with 10/100 ethernet, sound, Parallel
port, serial ports. I don't recall if there is a usb port or
not. I don't run it with a keyboard or video. Once I got
it set up and running I rebooted and set the BOIS to 'don't
check for keyboard' It's been working perfectly for about
a year.
I don't remember who the manufacture of this box was, but you
should be able to find one at a trade show.
