There is a reseller company of Tyan in Israel.

I've ordered Tyan's Titan Pro S1662D for work (with single 150MHz CPU meantime -
waiting for a promisied price drop in March). The MB isn't at the very top of
sysdoc.pair.com's benchmarks, but not at the bottom, too. At home I have Tomcat
II (S1562D), Tyan's as well, w/ 2 100MHz CPU's, and I like it.
