While I like the ALIX better (with X86 and 3 ethernet ports), this might be a lower cost alternative for a node. Download a distro, add a USB wireless adapter on an extender, connect the ethernet port upstream, plug into a wall socket, and voila, instant node, at perhaps one third of the cost of a fully provisioned ALIX.
