Given that I'm used to dealing with systems that are limited to 16MB of
NOR flash tops, a CF based setup seems roomy. Plus you could always
swap out the CF card for a larger one and transfer the partitions
across. But for $600+ for a diskless system I think the price is a
little steep. the BOM for the controller baord is most likely ~$100 and
the chassis isn't too expensive so they've got to be making >$400 per
box. you could slap together a mini-itx for less than that and get the
job done easily.

I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the
logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to
underestimate one's self is as much a departure from truth as to
exaggerate one's own powers. --- "Sherlock Holmes"
