"A company out of the UK is selling an 
<http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Motherboards.html>Intel 
Atom-based Mini-ITX motherboard. It has a riser for for two PCI 
cards, two SATA ports, and an IDE ports so it could make a great 
little NAS, firewall, 
<http://games.slashdot.org/games/03/10/19/2120235.shtml?tid=10>MAME 
box, or low-power workstation. To add to the fun it has a real 
parallel port 'perfect for hardware hacking,' a real RS-232 port 
'perfect for data acquisition,' and two USB ports. The price is 
around $100 give or take, and hopefully it will come down over time. 
All in all a nice system to run Linux, WindowsXP, BSD, or maybe even 
OpenSolaris on."

The motherboard supports an Intel GMA 950 graphics chip and a 1.6Ghz 
processor. This might make a great FE you can wade through the driver 
generation.
