Locustworld MeshAP will run on any PC. You don't *have* to run it on
MiniITX. It'll run adequately (if you turn off things like Xwindows)
on a Pentium 133. I've run it on P 75.

That said, it's proven less than reliable (or more accurately,
difficult to fix when broken), and piertopier.net have moved to a mix
of intel boxes and WRT54Gs running either pebble or openwrt.
