Recommendations for a Single Board Computer?

Lardmonster asks: "I'm looking for a Single Board Computer that's reasonably spec'd for performance, but low power (from a Wattage perspective!). I'd like to build a small machine to host NFS/Samba shares, store email, and run Slimserver. There are some nice-looking boards from Soekris, but they max out at 266MHz and have limited RAM. Can anyone recommend similar devices that are low-power, up to 500MHz, with IDE connector and have a SO-DIMM slot? Compatibility with i386 binaries is not necessary. Many places sell similar boards, but only in large quantities, and the prices are generally prohibitively high when they're publicized at all."

    DISCLAIMER: Our products are hardware only, designed for OEM integration with application software. The documentation is not very comprehensive, or in some cases absent. We are not able to help you install software, so if you don't know what you're doing, or are unable to get help somewhere else, please do not place an order. Please note that we do not offer application software support, we will make any effort necessary to help solve any technical problems with our hardware, but please use only email for contacting us on support issues. Don't expect answers on questions already covered on the website or in the manual, or questions like "how do I install Linux ?"....

    So basically they slapped together some hardware, didn't document it and won't help you use it.
