Best hardware for a replacement desktop?

One of my favorite boards at the moment is the atom c3958. [1] in
particular and I currently have 4 of. Depending on your needs, it
may not be what you are looking for though. This is an extremely
powerful SoC with low power cost. It is also important to note that
they only support 1 pci-e x8 card, which may or may not work for
you.

IMO though, the best deal Iv seen so far is the one mentioned on
ebay by David. If I were in the market, that is the one I would grab.
(and already recommended it to a friend)
