As has been mentioned on the list recently, the Everex gPC sold by
Walmart (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614)
is comparable inasmuch as it's also a Via based system. I ordered one
and installed Plan 9 on it without any problems a couple of days ago.
(Well I'm getting heavy I/O load after booting even w/ DMA turned on
but I suspect that's because I did a fossil+venti install and haven't
gotten around to figuring out what's going on.) Video and and
ethernet work out of the box. The gPC's case is much bigger than it
needs to be so isn't nearly as compact as the eBox, but on the plus
side it has more room for expansion.
