   And you are also behind times - the west is gone - long live   
   Alibaba/AliExpres (joking).   
      
   I bought Acresser devices in 2007/2008 right before the financial melt down.   
   They cost 250 US and were kind of picky to set up. Last year one of them   
   died (well the ide-to-CF controller gave up). The cool thing about those   
   were that they used max.12W. I started looking everywhere (in the west). I   
   couldn't find anything useful. Min. power consumption >60W and costs >600,-   
   ... and then I went to Alibaba/AliExpres ... it felt like I found a   
   treasury.   
   BTW the NUC and the kind of are not bad - but non had more than one LAN port   
   + power consumption + price.   
   It is a disappointment what happened after 2008 ... but not going into   
   politics and economics. Just have a look at Alibaba/AliExpres.
