Dell builds appliances that it sells to OEMs like Google’s search box.

Its latest effort is the OEM CR100 server, a simple, stripped-down, entry-level platform, built with PowerEdge R200 technology.

The short-depth 1U is good for a two-year lifecycle.

It’s available exclusively in the US (with Canada and Latin America to follow) and priced depending on configuration, starting at under $700.

It comes with either a single 800MHz Core 2 Duo E4300, Pentium dual-core E2160 or Celeron, maximum internal storage of 750GB, up to 8GB of memory and Windows Server 2003, Red Hat or SUSE.
