These are fantastic machines - we've been buying them as parts and using them
for firewalls, routers, etc. and they only draw ~20W of power for a full
system. You can also boot them from Compact Flash cards or USB Memory keys so
you can produce a system with no hard drive.

If you drop to the 600MHz CPU, they don't even need a CPU fan.
