This is EXACTLY what I have been waiting for as my network server:
* low power so I can leave it on
* no fan, so I can't hear it
* small, so I can mount it on the bottom of the shelf
* Wifi, so my laptop can connect to it
* Ethernet, to connect to the ADSL modem
* one USB hole to connect a whacking great hard-drive
* one USB hole to plug in a printer
Sure, you can do this with an old PC, but that fails on the first two
points.
How long until we install router + firewall + file-server + print-server
software on it?
This might also do what you want for $186 (incl) + an external USB HDD
($180 or so for 500Gb), total $360ish:

* 802.11g
* 2 x USB
* 4 x Ethernet
* File server
* FTP server
* Web server
* Print server
No ADSL modem. A wee bit hungrier at 5V 3A, say 20W out of the wall,
about $35 pa for the power.
Of course, it takes out all the fun of putting it together yourself.
