Oddly enough, I recently aquired (they were grateful for me taking it
away) a Celebris XL 5100.

Not in the server league, but it did have on board scsi (hooked to a zip
100 drive, which seemed to be exhibiting the 'click of death' when I tried
it), a 2 gig IDE drive, a whopping 32 meg of memory, and a video card with
2 meg of ram.

I'm about to install more memory to bring it up to 160 meg and a better
video card (PCI) and play with alternative OS installs (I already wiped
the W95 install that was there).

Odd beast.  The cpu is a P100 - the cpu board has 2 slots, and the info
material available when you persevere and drill down in the HP/Compaq/DEC
site suggests that there was also a SMP model.  CPU board plugs into the
MOBO.  Unusual case and PS for an AT style machine - some of the
peripheral ports are on the mobo (precursor of ATX) with matching cutout
on the case, and the PS has what looks like both AT and ATX connectors
plugged into the mobo.
