Thanks, Nux!.

But a few hours late.  I just purchased:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOTAC-ZBOX-NANO-Plus-Mini-PC-ZBOXNANO-AD12-PLUS-2GB-320GB-with-Power-Supply-56/382042194064?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3Deae770f22d504a9b8366eb0c02dd20d6%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D152356229748

Zotac has been in the mini/nano PC business for a number of years, and 
this is a good price for the AD12.

I will probably swap the 320Gb drive out for my 1Tb drive, but as the 
unit comes with eSATA, I have to decide to perhaps get an eSATA adapter 
for the 1TB or what.  My backup drive is USB, but I have had some I/O 
problems with it (my earlier post), so I may switch my backup drive to 
eSATA.

I will post power and other numbers here when I get the unit.
