Along the same lines, a couple of other possibilities:

MSI system based on VIA C7, $179:

  Gives you much the same as the EPIA above - add memory and extra NIC.
  It's a pretty nice box.
  
  Incidentally, there's also an ASUS system based on VIA C3 at $75,
  which I'm sure would also be a great m0n0wall box, but it's not small
  form factor.

Thin client terminal from Devon IT:

  Starting at $149, including flash memory. Based on VIA C3. The one
  I've seen has a PCI slot to add an extra NIC.
