mentioned, and the DS20L which was an 833MHz processor system in the 1U 
size.   The DS10L was supported for use with any of the DEC O/S while the 
DS20L was only supported for Tru64 from DEC and Linux.   VMS was not a 
supported O/S, although it was purported to be possible to get it to 
boot with some fiddling.   Unfortunately, I was never privy to the 
details of such.

Alpha Processors Inc (API) also produced a 1U system.   Based on the 
DS20L platform, they aimed for the HPC cluster market.   Also purported 
to be possible to boot VMS with some fiddling, but the usual O/S was 
some form of Linux.   http://youtu.be/RfowtlIk9Uc

All were fairly noisy for their size.   Maybe not noticeable in a 
computer center, but definitely in a home setting.
