Depending on what your second system does, you might be able to replace it with a pcengines ALIX2C3 board or the like. Put a (large) CF card in that, and your power usage will be less than 5W (and you won't have moving parts). http://pcengines.ch is the manufacturer site, and you can buy them here at netgate.com, for instance: http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=26&products_id=450 They have a nice case for it too, and you can also buy a kit with board + case + cf card + powersupply. It's more expensive than a wrt54, but you do get a general purpose machine with 256MB of ram and as much CF space as you can fit.
