If you were willing to move from SCO to Linux, or FreeBSD, there are quite
a few choices available.  We've been building boxes running SuSE Linux
Enterprise 9 (SLES9) which have mini-itx main boards, 512MB RAM, 80gb SATA
hard drives, and are about the size of the set-top TiVO boxes (or smaller).
Our cost on these in reasonable quantities is under $500.00.

``We maintain that the very foundation of our way of life is what we call
free enterprise,'' said Cash McCall, "but when one of our citizens
show enough free enterprise to pile up a little of that profit, we do
our best to make him feel that he ought to be ashamed of himself."
