Need cheap, wall mountable, low power small system

[marley1]

Hey all, I have been teaming up with a home automation/security camera guy in our business and we generally install a small system running IIS to control the home automation system for the home owner when they are away from the house.

Normally we have been doing Dell Optiplex Ultra Small Form factor on the refurbished site.

I want something smaller, cheaper and wall mountable. I looked around some ITX site but want one I can buy and not piece together.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How about something like this?

You can configure it with the VIA C7 instead of the Nano to save some money, if computing power isn't important (not sure how important that is in this application, I'd assume not very).

Is there something similar priced with Intel based atom? I can build if I have too but rather buy off shelf model

If you downgrade to one of the single-core boards, it comes out to around the same price. Maybe cheaper.

Cool. The little falls 2 may be a little overkill for this but a nice bonus. It would be nice if SSDs were not as expensive as they are now because I don't imagine you'd need 80GB for a task like that.

There's always the option of something like this guy if you're looking for cheap non-HD storage.
