I built a server recently on a Foxconn R20-D4 with 2GB DDR2 and a used hard
disk and a low profile gigabit ethernet card for about $125. Installation
of Ubuntu 11.10 server by USB. Working on RADIUS now for use as a gateway
router. Not fanless but pretty quiet and all the power I need.

For personal use I would want a GUI desktop and one of the nettops would be
more functional. I don't see how to do this on an ARM based foundation.
