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.
