Howcome no one has though of this before?? What is the "Samba equivalent",
as the Alix 2D3 is for SOHO routers?? There's a market gap right there...
Or maybe I am the one who thinks this way?

Still, thanks for your advice! You are right, so far Optiplexes or similar
pretty much fulfill all the requirementes I mentioned before: they are
cheap, good looking, silent and with some care also pretty reliable.

Best regards!
