I ended up there myself.  Unfortunately, you need to chain USB2 enclosures off 
of it.  What about replacement NSLU2s if it dies?  Might be neat for a backup 
server, depending on the USB2 stability.  I think the D-Link offering 
supports an internal drive, but lacks out-of-the-box support for Debian 
GNU/Linux being installed.

I think I'm still a fan of commodity PC harware using Bryan's mATX mainboard 
suggestion and the really small cases.
