why not just use normal hardware and buy a DOM for it?
none of coraid's machines, including the fileserver (!) have
spinning media.  only the srs (coraid storage appliances) do.

you can get a 128mb pata dom for $13 and sata for $30
at memorydepot.com (not an endorsement but i've purchased
from them before.)

i would imagine that regular mb + dom would be competitive
with the asus boards.
