At the risk of committing heresy on these non-x86 lists...
why go non-x86 low power when you can have x86 low power?

Dual #LAN MiniITX mobo with passive #heatsink $109

2GB RAM $12

4 Gigabyte SATA-150 Flash module $60
http://tinyurl.com/9g3hfch

Mini-ITX case $38
http://cor.to/RVQY

AC PS + PicoPSU $38
http://is.gd/cIZZx8

Total: $257

But you will have two real Gigabit ethernet ports, the power of an x86
cpu, but with the benefits of passive cooling and small space.
Not bad huh?. ;)

Plus you´ll be able to install any x86 BSD and Linux distro, no config hassless.

Just my $0.02
