We've got two of them here. They do pretty well. We've had some lockup
issues with the RealTek ethernet, which is kindof annoying, but since
we won't be using it in the field, it's not major. Overall, I'm pretty
happy with them for the cost. No heat build-up problems, but we're
running them with Celeron 800's, so I wasn't really expecting any. I'd
be interested to hear any reports on the VIA C3 chip in one though. We
were thinking about switching to the C3.
