Yes; transmetazone.com (great name) has the FiberCycles WebBunker ... 
http://www.transmetazone.com/articleview.cfm?articleIDX5

Its a bit high-end, but you should be able to find others (the netwinder 
for example is two servers in a 1U rack case for $2500);

The WebBunker Model FC206i - the first of FiberCycle's WebBunker line of 
servers - will hit the market mid-second quarter this year for around 
$9,300 USD or about $1500 per CPU blade . The 2U rack-mounting unit has 
six independent single-cpu servers (it will be able to scale dual Crusoe 
processors shortly), dual redundant power supplies and IO blades all in 
one package. The FC206i will rely upon a 20Gb EIDE ATA-100 hard drive 
for permanent storage, and come equipped with 256Mb of onboard DDR 
SDRAM. One expansion DIMM slot will enable a maximum up 756Mb memory per 
CPU. Each of the six CPU bays contains a completely independent TM5600 
Crusoe based server, with the CPU and system board up front, and the 
hard drive in rear.
