Soekris or other SBC hardware

 I'm trying to find a local supplier for Soekris hardware.  So far, I've not been able to find anyone that carries Soekris stuff, but I'm still waiting for an enquiry at a local general-purpose computer shop to see if their suppliers can get Soekris.  Does anyone know of any place in or around the Ottawa area that carries Soekris hardware?

Or, generally, any place that carries SBC hardware?  I know that Xagyl carries RouterBoard, but for the purpose at hand, RB/Mikrotik won't work for me (nor will my default VIA hardware).  Ideally, I'm looking for something based on the AMD Geode, but my strict requirements are:

1) No less than 4 network ports in the standard configuration AND at least two expansion slots, OR No less than 2 in the standard configuration AND at least 3 expansion slots.  Expansion slots can be any combination of mini-PCI and PCI.
2) Decently fast, as I'll have between four and six active network connections, including some bridges.
3) The more open, the better.  Actually, closed platforms are a no-go.
4) Though not a requirement, it would be nice to have two GbE NICs on-board.  A mini-PCIe/PCIe expansion slot is an alternative.
5) Serial console is preferred to straight-up VGA output.
6) I know I can buy from online shops and eBay, but I'd really like to buy from a brick-and-mortar storefront, ideally one that's within city limits, and accessible on bus or foot.

Any pointers at all (or even questionings of my sanity) are welcome.
