I have a project that I need some hardware pointers for. I need to build some Centos "appliances" (dedicated boxes to do one thing only). Target cost is under $250/box.
Given the rest of the requirements, I would say something like: http://www.mini-box.com/M200-LCD-Enclosure
Find a distro more suited to the low power/mem environment like busybox or something.
