Well, maybe.
The earlier models , some of which have a PCI slot, require an expansion 
kit that no longer seems to be available. The 5730 expansion kit is or 
was recently available, but won't fit the earlier cases, so unless you 
are willing to kludge something to give two ethernet ports or have 
another way to do a firewall, they aren't really good candidates.
They certainly have lots of other uses though, including Astlinux, a 
very clever package that packs a lot into a small package.
