What I'd like to see is a box like the Sun Netra x1

  http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hw/networking/netrax/

that I can run FreeBSD on --

- single PII 233
- 1U (compact) 19" rack-mountable
- no video, just RJ-45 RS232 port
- 2 onboard 10/100 ethernets
- 1 IDE drive is fine
- 256MB of RAM

for $995.

I've even (*gasp*) considered buying the Netra x1 because I can't find a
compact 1U FreeBSD for $995 with the remote, lights-out management type
features this thing has.
