Hi,

Can anyone recommend a small, fanless computer that will accept a HD (perhaps
a 2.5" drive) that uses ECC RAM? Needless to say, it must run OpenBSD.

Being 64 bit, having accellerated crypto and/or supporting multiple drives
would be bonus points, but are not required.

There are several Intel mini-ITX motherboard with embedded Intel Atom
processors (I use a 64bit one as a home server).

Mine is an Intel D945GCLF2D.  Works 100% with OpenBSD.

The D945GCLF2D (Atom) doesn't do ECC.

Although I've got no experience with it, the VIA ART-3000 might take 
ECC: according to Wikipedia the Via Nano CPU supports it, however I 
can't find anything official on that.

I'd be interested to hear back if anyone tries this system, as it looks 
impressive.

I've seen various mini ITX boards around, with the ~1GHz VIA chips
(that happen to have some sort of hardware RNG).
No idea about ECC though.

There are similar boards using laptop CPUs around. Not so cheap.
Usually embedded in some sort of machine control application, but you
can find used pulled ones fairly cheap on occasion. You'd have to make
a box for it though, of course.

Did you ever find a suitable system? I want to do the same for home.
I'm leaning towards one of the supermicro atom based boards in a
mini-itx case.

I have a supermicro atom(D510) system with a 32 GB SSD in it running 
pfsense (FreeBSD) and IPMI - 4 GB RAM MAX. It is not fanless but that 
can be easily remedied with a fanless PS. Habey is putting out an Atom 
(D252) server which looks competitive($260) with DDR3 RAM (2GB max) but 
I don't know it's track record -

The Atoms don't use ECC memory, do they?

Of course not; Intel reserves ECC for Xeons. Most athlons do, though.

Intel's EP80579 embedded processors also do ECC, there are several
machines with this chip and a bunch of Ethernet ports.

The smallest server I've ever seen supporting ECC memory is HP
ProLiant MicroServer

sorry for offtopic:
have you tried to install openbsd on it?

Nope - I'm still saving money to buy it

I found that someone posted its freebsd's dmesg though:
