[Nolug] Low power, compact linux box

Hi Folks,

I have a need for a low power consumption linux box. Anyone using something
like this? I'm thinking some of the small "nettops" or mini-itx boxes.
I've googled a bit, but if anyone has direct experience with this sort of
thing, input would be appreciated so I don't re-invent the wheel.

Something like this would be nice...

or this:

Has anyone been down this road before? I would like low power consumption
so that it can run on a UPS for a long time for its intended use. Doesn't
need much drive space (compacFlash or SSD is fine). It will basically serve
as a network device to jump off to other devices. Think like your typical
home linux NAT router or something along those lines.

Anyone have any product suggestions? Tips?

Thanks,
Shannon
