Just ordered myself one of these...

GuruPlug Server Plus (http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=GuruPlug-ServerPlus)

(http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/prodimages/kit.jpg)

1.2Ghz ARM processor
512MB DDR2
512MB onboard flash storage
WiFi
Bluetooth
2 x Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
2 x USB 2.0 port
eSATA port
MicroSD port
USNAP port

A steal at Ã,£115!

Planning to use it for NAS, file sharing, web/mail servers, potentially a router replacement... and probably much more... powered by 5 watts. :)

Doesn't ship till April though. :(

I would like to see a decent review done on one before I buy one. I have about 4 or 5 ideas for the use of one myself. Not sure how that processor preforms.

I currently have a 400mhz  kubuntu with 256 megs of ram machine hosting a Teamspeak 2 and 3 server, Vent, and file storage. It doesnt even break a sweat on CPU but its about maxed on ram useage.

Would like to see how well one runs freenas.
