want a 1U or 2U server with niceties like hotswap hard drives, redundant
power supplies, and ECC memory, perhaps one of the Tyan or SuperMicro
servers.

This is going into a 4U chassis with redundant PSU and hotswap :) The remaining hardware is largely constrained by budget. But of course, if anybody has a better suggestion for a reasonably priced board from Asus or Gigabyte that has two NIC, supports Core 2 Duo and ECC with onboard graphics, I'm all game :)

I don't think you need confine yourself to motherboards with dual NICs. It is so easy to add an additional PCI NIC card ....
