Hello I'd like to build a compact, affordable, fanless x86 solution to handle my home landline. I know about the following two platforms: 1. www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm alix1d + case 100? Does "Availability >500" mean that it's just not possible to buy just one item? 2. www.soekris.com/products.html?limit=all net4501-30 Board and Case $175.00 Is the net4501 powerful enough to run Asterisk, considering that I'll use an external VoIP gateway to connect it to my landline? Are there other manufacturers I should know about? Thank you.

Just about any of the HP thin clients, either new or used off eBay, with AstLinux installed do a wonderful job, especially if you are not going to need a PCI card. The older units will need a larger flash. Transcend has several different sizes that are direct replacements Looks like some of the Neoware units will also do the job.
