The price is around $250 for the one based on I915, and ridiculous $375 for the one based on I945. As far as I understand it's only the barebone, w/o even a DVD included for this kinda price.

There is only one ATA adapter on the MP915-X model and NONE on the more expensive models. That will limit you to one compact flash adapter and force you to use either a second partition on the same device (not recommended) or an external USB thumb drive for the key disk. Secondly, there is no PCI slot, only a mini-pci. I'm not aware of any supplies who make telephony cards for mini-pci slots. Other than that, price will be your other factor. I haven't see the retail price on those, but I'd guess somewhere around $200 for the barebones case with motherboard (read no CPU--additional $150+ for an intel processor) and probably another $75 for memory since it takes laptop memory. With all of those limitations, I'd steer clear of the box.
