Potential Hardware
Devices appearing on this list are not necessarily supported, but are instead hardware we could support. See Supported Hardware for the actually supported hardware.
Boxes matching or surpassing the DreamPlug in price and core features (see also hardware requirements):
- fanless (in normal rooms, also on very hot days)
- $160/€120 or cheaper
- min. ½GB ram (for 32bit operation - likely min. 1GB for 64bit)
- min. 1GHz CPU (for ARMv5 CPUs - different for other CPUs)
- uSD slot, easy accessible
- ethernet (proper builtin or on daughterboard, not "toys" like USB-attached or ENC28J60)

Legend:
- + at RAM size indicates replaceable option.
Case not included but is offered separately from same vendor.
Promising
Upcoming devices looking promising, but not yet available for general sale.
Unsuitable
Odroid before U3 models: Too powerful (requires noisy fan or too expensive to ship heatsink)
Raspberry Pi: Requires non-free blob to boot (and pretty weak when using Debian - Raspbian is not Debian)
Devices too expensive not listed here (that'd be a looong list).

Some benchmark comparison between different processor famillies, which might help in deciding which platform would best fit the requirements can be found here
Hardware list from the PlugApps project here. Good overview of differences in SheevaPlug-class devices.
