OK, I'm in the UK as are these people I buy from, but they do prices in dollars as well as pounds and euros, and will ship to the US. They don't have a 2d13 at the moment but do have 2d3s in stock (the 2d13 has a battery and RTC extra, that's all). http://linitx.com/index.php They've got enclosures, but the power supplies are european plugs. However, they are universal (100-250V), so an EU->US adapter would work. I use a SanDisk CF card in mine, and the pfSense install worked like a dream. The only wrinkle is remembering to change the serial line speed from 19200 to 9600 baud before installing pfSense, as the serial bootloader likes 9600. I'd recommend getting "pfSense: The Definite Guide" as well http://www.amazon.com/pfSense-Definitive-Christopher-M-Buechler/dp/0979034280/ref=sr_1_1/177-9101540-7293707?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1290689178&sr=1-1
