One of these might work:

The 2300SX is $90 and has 3x USB 2.0. I'm going to replace my aging
full size firewall with one of these and a pair of USB drives (or
possibly compact flash/usb flash drives).
I'm pretty sure they'll handle a full OS install with no hacking. We're
soon going to be using 60 of them as thin clients for a edubuntu LTSP
lab at a high school.
