Have you taken a look at the single-board computers from Soekris Engineering?

Those should be small enough for your client.  :-)

I have deployed the NET4801 and NET4521 models as a firewall and

I'm running m0n0wall on them, which is a stripped down version of
FreeBSD 4.9:

No moving parts, no noise, low power draw.  Very happy with them!
