Thanks for all the responses. <br><br>However, I don't really want a full system. I'm replacing an NSLU2, a device which is actually somewhat overpowered for what I use it for. What I want:<br><br>1) low power, I like the fact that the sheevaplug/guruplug are ~5 watts. <br>
2) low heat, I'm not sure how to measure this, but I assume that a low power device should generate less heat. <br><br>Bonuses: Two lan interfaces and a wireless(N/G) device that works decently under linux. <br><br>
The bonuses would let me replace my home router, which would be nice. But I don't want to go with a full system. I replaced that with the NSLU2 and a home router back 3-4 years ago. It really saved me a ton of money on power and cooling. <br>

</div>I think I missed a ton options when I was shopping too. Just glanced at<br>
newegg and under servers if you ignore the fact that they only list<br>
Opteron and Xeons for cpu type and search for "atom" you get a whole<br>
slew of options:<br>
