IMHO if you're going to put an unreliable (relatively) powered
moving part into it then why bother buying a soekris in the first
place?

It's a single board computer with no fans or other moving parts.
Once you move away from that you may as well just buy something from
linitx or repurpose some more conventional old pc hardware as that
will be vastly cheaper.
