Cisco still makes some of the CSS line, but not sure that fits the bill. 
  I'd actually take a look at the Foundry ServerIrons.  If you want a 
good laugh, the Foundry ServerIrons are  more IOS like than Cisco's own 
CSS's. ;-)  The ServerIrons are solid and are quite reasonably priced... 
vs what's left in the CSS line.  (I believe the CSS 11501's are EoSale).
