Hmm, I see these are going for ~$100 on ebay.
Thanks.
The only more ideal thing would be something that looks like a 4 port powered USB2 hub, but you plug a CF disk in, or a mass-storage device, and it tries to boot from it.
You now can make random things by plugging in USB stuff. Want a network accessible webcam, plug in a camera or three, a [wireless?] network, and away you go.
Almost trivial to make and would be very cheap. The problem is that pesky supply and demand thing :)
