I got a Tyan S2885 system from Monarch Computer Systems about 9 months
ago.  The system works great with either the original AMI BIOS or the
LinuxBIOS (http://wiki.linuxbios.org/) I built and flashed for it.

A Tyan mainboard would make an excellent base for a server system and
you can "build" your system on-line with quality components and have
Monarch do the actual build for $65-75.  The component selections that
Monarch provides are limited, but they are of very good quality.

Please support Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) BIOSes such as
LinuxBIOS, before it's too late.  Future BIOSes will execute only
authenticated executables.  Will GNU/Linux be one of the authenticated
operating systems?
