You probably only want the X7SPA-H since you won't need the Matrox GFX
card (the base model has a built-in Intel GPU)

There are lots and lots and lots of Atom based motherboards, but most
of them only have 1 NIC. Adding an extra PCI NIC is still cheaper than
buying a more full-featured board - especially if you have an old one
laying around somewhere.
D510MO is usually around $80, so you have quite a bit of savings there.
Since you are a home user, the WAN side NIC doesn't have to be blazing
fast since you are bound by your connection way before anything else.

The SSD really adds a lot to your price.
You could run off a USB stick for a while and see how far that takes you.
(Mine's been running ~6 months on a USB stick now ... and not the
embedded install either).
