Hello everybody

I have found a neat small casing with hardware at eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/Sonderpreis-MINI-PC-Gehaeuse-inkl-Cyrix-Media-Prozessor_W0QQitemZ8743918695QQcategoryZ96490QQcmdZViewItem

It has a Cyrix Media processor, 64 MB RAM. 32 MB Disc-On-Chip module and 
the ability to install a PCI/ISA riser card (details here: 
http://www.dabo.de/surfstation/wiki/wikidata/Technische%20Daten.html 
(german))

After some research I found out a bit more:

Originally this boxes do not have VGA, IDE and COM-Ports, which is quite 
bad. All of these can be installed with a bit experience with the 
soldering gun.
Other types of such surfboxes come with built-in COM and VGA-ports.

My questions are:
1) Does somebody have any experience with that type of hardware?
2) With a PIC-risercard and a dual-PCI NIC such a box should give a 
quite pretty m0n0wall-box for a really little money. Or am I wrong for 
any reason?
