One of the more common embedded platforms for Asterisk is the Soekris 
net5501 (or 4501 if you don't need as much processing power)  The case 
would be the size of a larger router and has capacity for a single full 
height PCI device - such as a TDM400.  Astlinux has an image for the 
5501, so you can get away without a hard drive if you want to. (though 
Astlinux will happily use one as it's UnionFS partion)  This will also 
give you a USB port.
