Don't know how late I am to the game on this suggestion, but I am quite happy with the Lanner Inc. product I bought. I was able to get them to sell me a single unit, the cost was fine for my needs (at the time an Atom D510). They're rackable, and my FW-7539 has been running non-stop for years. I can't speak for performance as my needs are really simple.
