They've recently been slashdotted/boing-boing'd/ Engadgeted/etc'd so 
their site is a bit slow, but this looks like an ideal home server/low 
end firwall.
Low power consumption? Check (5w).
X86 based? Check (AMD Geode).
Expandable? Check (2x USB 2.0).
Dual NICs? Check. Runs Linux?
Check (pre-installed with Gentoo)
Inexpensive? Reasonably so ($285)

It's a little light on the ram and you can't add to it,  and to be 
perfect it would need a mini-pci slot for a wireless card. Still for the 
price...
