Target Hardware
Small, cheap boxes. Ok if e.g. box is missing (can be added later), but not if way off our hardware requirements, or if design goals are clearly different (e.g. price tag above $200).

- * Requires non-Debian kernel.
Box is available separately from same vendor.
Promising
Upcoming devices looking promising, but not yet available for general sale.
Unsuitable
Odroid: 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
