I doubt that there's a significant commercial market.

Anyone can buy a cheap PC with built-in networking. If they want a 
server system then a Kobalt cube will do the job. You might be cheaper 
but the price differential will disappear after the first support call. 
What warranty are you going to offer on the hardware?
