If so, do they have either the latest BIOS update, or a version of FreeBSD with the VIA Southbridge fix? If yes, then do you notice it lock up? :) I have had several of these and they lock up hard (can't break in via the debugger) after working hard (running as a radar system, md5'ing files, and buildworlding repeatedly) If I use the older BIOS and a version of FreeBSD without the southbridge fix it doesn't appear to hang... Unfortunately the older BIOS doesn't support Athlon XP CPUs, and without the fix I get data corruption.
