I saw the earlier discussion on the SM Quark boxes. One just popped up on my Amazon: Amazon.com: Supermicro Server Barebone System SYS-E100-8Q: Computers & Accessories
Only 2.2w but dual serial ports, dual LAN and dual USB ports.
I wonder if you could turn these into a serial console server? That Lantronix xDirect is almost as expensive but only does one machine. The Quark has more I/O so you'd just need an OS and a way to config. I think that's a big part of what Quark is for and at 2.2w you'd probably even be able to make it highly portable with a big $30 external battery.
