Food for thought: The Ubiquiti routerstation has a 680Mhz processor and 64MB of ram. There is no CF card slot, but it does have a USB2 interface which would allow a USB stick on board for additional storage (above the onboard 16MB flash) if needed. The unit ships with a stock installation of OpenWRT.
3 LAN, 3 mini-pci Total cost of board + 2GB usb stick (I could not find pricing for 1GB) = $73/each This brings your cost for 30 units down to less than $2200 The draw-back, there is no indoor case on the market yet, but I'm sure with some digging, we could find an affordable plastic box that it fit inside.
