Tenchusatsu -
I'm not basing my discussion on a magazine column. I have seen more than 1 design which includes 32MB RAM, 10/100 ethernet and all the SW components for a painless out of box install, with a target price under $1K including absolutely everything you need including the CAT5 cable. A hub is assumed in any system with more than 2 boxes currently, so I don't believe that is part of the cost equation. These designs are headless (no monitor, mouse or keyboard) and use client-based administration.

These systems have fine performance as a file and web proxy server for 10 users or less. The designs I saw did not use either MSFT OS or Intel processor but supported MS file systems. features differed slightly between systems from different vendors but included the basics - file and web support, backup and restore, and a no-frills administration model. My sense is that Intel will hit the same target but also not with MSFT OS.

Don't take my word for it, just wait a few months and read the ads.
