A variation is still available for sale from Soekris and they're more
than $129.  However I don't think they're worth buying from Ebay at
that price even if it included a nice CF card.

A better comparison would be a Pi for $45, 5V power for $20, a case
for $20 and a powered USB hub for $25.  ~$100 (including shipping)
assuming it comes with an SD card.

The Raspberry Pi wouldn't need a USB hub if they didn't reboot when
you plugged into the USB ports.

Speaking as someone who has two RPi's :-( and three Beaglebone Blacks :-)

Of course I  have a bias toward Ubuntu so the Beaglebones are a better
fit for me for other reasons.

Newegg has a refurb'd netbook for $40 right now and new ones for $100.
These are complete systems with LCD display, case and battery power with
AC adaptor and still cheaper than a Pi or a Soekris.  The reason to buy
the pi, Ardurino, Launchpad or whatever is if you intend to "hack" the
hardware.  If not then just buy a cheap notebook for $50 or less

Here is one example:

I have two Raspberry Pis and I haven't seen that behavior either.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I saw 3 ethernet ports on the back
of the 4501. So I thought a 'net switch would be a way to get more of
those ports at the location of the Pi. That's all.
