Do a search for "single board computer" or SBC.
A lot of them are designed for industrial applications in
operating conditions that would quickly ruin a normal PC.
Even if you are not interested in an SBC, the same
manufacturers/vendors should have other products that might
satisfy you.

I'll second that recommendation.We've been running rackmounted PC boxes for
over almost 2 decades in aircraft using passive ISA & mixed ISA/PCI
backplanes and SBC's. Of course, your environment might be harsher than the
interior of a BAC 1-11, 737, or T-39. If that's the case, you should also
investigate "shock mounts" which are vibration isolation devices. We've
also run rack mounted microVAX and SGI workstations too.
You're chassis is going to have a MUCH larger impact here than the
type of motherboard you use. If you have a really high-vibration
environment, your best bet is definitely going to be to get a complete
system designed for such an environment.

Seconded. And, of course, the stuff with 'moving parts' (notably hard
disks and optical drives) is going to cr&p out way before most
motherboards will be damaged (although half-kilogram Cu heatsinks on AMD
mountings are a definite no-no as well).
