Platforms for OS based Appliances

Sometimes I need a box for snort sensors or linux appliances, or BSD or even firewall distributions:

http://www.arinfotek.com/  Has some cool security oriented appliances- the Teak series.  

With iBase and Win Enterprise as competition in this sector.  Some have SSL acceleration or other cool security chips.

Here are some really cool boxes either way though:

The first is a full fledged tiny PC- also with bargain price:

Fit-PC2  It is a full PC even though it is small enough to stick to the back of your monitor.  Power consumption is a ridiculously low 5-8W.

The second is Hero Logic-   in competition with Soekris, but seems like a great polished product.  I'd love to try one out.
