Viglen MPC-L. It has 6 USB ports, 2xUSB1.1 and 4xUSB2. It only has one 
Ethernet device, but I added an Apple USB to Ethernet adapter and it's 
working fine as my firewall.

It has a 2.5" laptop hard disk but you could replace that with an IDE/CF 
adapter and it would then be silent and cooler.

The Viglen is AMD Geode based.

You can get a Vigle79GBP inc VAT+P&P to the UK and includes a keyboard and 
mouse. If you listen to season 1, episode 11 of the Ubuntu UK Podcast you'll 
find out the details.

Normally they're ~100GBP +VAT+P&P so it's quite a good deal.
