(We're not an embedded box builder historically, but I have a couple of clients who want a tiny, low power variant of our servers--who am I to argue with folks who are ready to buy? It's just a question of finding the right hardware at the right price--so far it's all looking a little on the high side.) From what I've been able to find, the Geode 3.5" cards with ethernet are considerably more pricy. The quotes I've gotten place them all over $250 (with CPU). Maybe you've got a line on something cheaper? -- Joe Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.swelltech.com Web Caching Appliances and Support
