I also have been keeping an eye on hardware. I am surprised that very few have stated, yea or nea to the suggested Minnow board. I was curious myself, which has an open hardware architecture, an Intel Atom processor with a single 5 volt supply. Most platforms we have looked at do not operate well without an air conditioned environment, so savings made on a piece of hardware go out the window (so to speak) if we add that it has to be run with some kind of air conditioning, being heated or cooled.
The Minnow out of the box has a freezing (32 F) to hot (212 F) standard and can be made with an environment that far exceeds what we have now and can run under the hood of a car in any weather. Seems like these combinations are what is called for. Is not this more in the lines? It should boot Debian out of the box, although I know of no one that has tried, but it's a PC architecture. It is 199 bucks... IMHO, it needs a closer look...
