I am really sorry, let's hope the insurance comes through.  Did you find
the leftovers or is it half way to Vic now?

neat, didn't know they existed.  However for a similar price you could
almost get a mini-itx with dual core atom.  Might make the snappiness a
bit ... snappier.  What would it cost for another b202? about $350? A
D510 dual core sans RAM with mini pci-e, sata, and gigabit lan is only
$150.  (Add HD, RAM & Case).

SATA would give you much better throughput than your USB disk and maybe
even eliminate the USB hub.

probably don't need the ION or more expensive boards then.
