Wotty wot wot.
Was just browsing the SuperMicro website and stumbled upon these: http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/atom.cfm
Low power Atom based servers and mainboards! The interesting thing to note (besides the avg 3x price of any other Atom based mainboard - around US$220 ea.) are PCIex16 slot (x4 electrical), Dual Intel LAN adapters (most other Atom boards I've seen only have a single Realtek 8111 LAN), and IPMI 2.0. (supports virtual media and KVM over LAN).
Would make fine entry-level fileservers, low-end routers, DNS/DHCP servers, webserver, etc. Wouldn't attempt to run anything like Exchange, SBS, Oracle DB, SQL Server on it though.
PS. IPMI = http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/IPMI.cfm
