Yeah. We really need to find something "commercial" like the GuruPlug, 
but that doesn't take a Linux hacker to set up. The Raspberry Pi is 
neat, but I didn't see it as a "real thing" until I ordered an $8 case 
to put it in -- before it was just some open circuit board with wires 
coming off of it. I am sure there is something out there -- if they can 
do a Pi for $25-$35, someone is bound to make something for $50 that is 
packaged and ready. BUT, it also needs to have the support so it can be 
updated and such.
========================

Well, the Pi with a case for $45 sounds good! But there are others, like 
the UG802:
