Well, I see it for 320. Then you need to add a SSD, and a decent network
card, and I suppose it could be made to work. Awful big, tho, in an era
where I can get 1/2TB on an 2.5 inch SSD.

What I'd wanted was closer to a dreamplug - 160 bucks, two network ports,
but with an internal SSD. bonus points if it fit into a 1U rack and ate as
little power as possible.

Principal use case here is to be a "network monitor" with enough oomph to
run stuff like cacti/mrtg/snmp tools, as well as do captures off of a
mirrored switch port.
