I think my only real concern with that appliance (nifty box, BTW) would 
be how much traffic it could handle before being saturated and/or adding 
significant latency.  With small form factor pc's so cheap, unless you 
have extremely restrictive space, power requirements or budget, it might 
be somewhat limiting.  I've seen SFF cases/motherboards that can handle 
P4/Athlon64 systems that aren't much bigger than a child's lunchbox.   
They're not even that expensive.

Cheers,
