(Google and Froogle can't find one.) Sounds like one of these boards could be the basis of an open NAS device. I suppose a Mini PCI SATA card would carry a premium price, and probably end up being a wash compared to using the more expensive Alix.1c with a commodity PCI SATA controller. Though I'm not sure what advantage the larger MiniITX Alix.1c provides over other MiniITX boards, many of which are cheaper. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
