I ordered one of my Atoms from the U.S.  I now buy from NCIX if I can't
get it from Memory Express.  The one I ordered from the U.S. had the two
ethernet ports fry in the late winter.  NCIX and MemX are way easier to
deal with in terms of returns and warranty.

Why are you wedded to the Jetway?  There is not much to differentiate
the various manufacturers (basically IONs and vanilla).  Just buy a 4
port card from routerboard to add the interfaces (though a
firewall/router only needs two ports).

Another option are the ALIX based boards.  They draw less power, are
passively cooled, and are cheaper than the Atom solutions.

I have also fallen out of love with Atom.  I have a Core2 Duo in the
same form factor and I am far happier with it.  The current crop of Atom
is still not worth it IMO (when they get to the SoC stage then it will
be worth looking at for me).
