Last place I worked we used SupportTrio for a support ticket system. It's a commercial product but was fairly simple and met our needs well. Also the tech support was always fast and responsive whenever we needed to use it.
(There should be a way to tell tomcat to install a new webapp *on top of* an old one, then undeploy the old one, removing this "gap" where no webapp is present...anybody know how to do this?). We use JBoss which lets you hot deploy the new wars in thie way. JBoss comes with Tomcat built in, might be worth checking it out.:)

Similar cards are already out there. Gigabyte make the 3D1, 3D1-XL and the 3D1-68GT. Based on the 6600 and the 6800 chipsets.
They are pretty nice. Just haven't found a water cooling kit that will fit on the 3D1-XL yet.
