Hardware platform for embedded linux

Hi

I am looking to create a small linux based device with the following
functionality:

1.  Must run apache (or other PHP compatible) webserver
2.  Must have ethernet connectivity
3.  Must be fanless
4.  Must be able to run off solid state disk (eg CF card)
5.  Ideally should run 2.6 kernel
6.  Should have a good BSP for development
7.  Ideally should have its own enclosure
8.  Ideally should be x86 architecture

I have identified a possible candidate as the Hacom Phoenix
(http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=34&products_id=71).
 Are there any other options that I should be looking at?  UK based
suppliers are preferrable.

Many thanks

Sam Duncan

Look how the soekris(www.soekris.com) boards fit your needs.

That's a pretty good little device; another engineering group in my
building has designed it into a mid-volume application. I don't think
it's actually made by Hacom, though - I think it's an OEMed product.

Are you looking for just a SBC or a complete boxed system with power
supply?

None of this stuff is made in the UK, so you're probably going to find
cheaper prices in the US (due to distribution volumes here) - even
taking shipping costs into consideration.

Thanks for a speedy and helpful response.  I am looking for a complete
boxed system with power supply.

Why Linux?

Read-only or read-write?

Why x86?
