I, too, have been looking for small SBCs, and I've been investigating the boards from Advantech (they're not really low-power though): http://www.advantech.com They've got an online store, and so they appear to sell to end-users (but I've never ordered anything from them, so beware). They have a few boards that come close to your specifications. However, note that the boards they have don't come with any RAM (you have to install your own, but fortunately the RAM is standard SIMM/DIMM stuff), and some don't come with any CPUs. Some CPUs are also "5x86"s. The prices range from the low $200s to $600 on up. If anyone's using any Advantech boards with FreeBSD, I'd like to hear any stories.
