The GuruPlug Server sells for 129,95 EUR on amazon.de. The HP is much
more powerful _and_ designed as a server that must run 24/7. I think the
HP is an excellent plug-alternative.

Also interesting are motherboards with the low power AMD E-350 or E-450
CPU. These are dual core processors with integrated graphics. TDP is
only 18 W. Asus has some very nice passively cooled motherboards like:

This motherboard comes with integrated processor and costs around 100
EUR. You can have relatively cheap and powerful "FreedomBox hardware" by
replacing the motherboard of an old PC with this motherboard...
