Depends on quantity.

My favorite boards for this kind of thing are laptop motherboards,
since they have the connections for a built in UPS, automatic
software controlled power management, and the majority of the cost
is in the display, with most of the rest of it being in the micro
mechanicals that you don't need in an embedded system (PCMCIA slots,
keyboard, tiny floppy, docking crap, speakers, microphone, expansion
bays for CDROM, etc.).  If you can get them, they make for cheap
little boxes.
