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.

I do see a problem.  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.
