That would be ideal, I'm really hoping for a replacement like that... and @ 16MB there would be a bit of room left over as well for future upgrades to the OS or custom apps to run.
Sure you can build your own platform for it, but I already have one of these... they are a nice form-factor and they are relatively cheap to come by (compared to building a new 1U box). I think there would be even more potential with something like freenas.
