The Iyonix can be rehoused easily - ATX form factor, but even that
might be too big for your requirements.

I don't see any problem with either of those. NetWinders have a
100Mbit interface, and Iyonix a 1GBit.

The items I have on that page, as I think is implied, are the only real
desktop ARM machines. Anything else are board only - this doesn't mean
they won't be appropriate (far from it), just something to be aware of.
Part of the question is how much processing power you need, and whether
you'd settle with an off the shelf option or not. I expect that both
Castle and Simtec could offer various 7500FE solutions, for example,
modified to your requirements. Simtec also offer a super small ARM9
board (ITX form factor).
