Well look to the right side of the screen..see the 888 voip store ad.

As you are asking about loading an ISO build, I will ASSUME you did not have the skill set to install from bare metal, beware most of the small form factor Motherboards are going to need drivers loaded and other tweaks, (trixbox will give you a working system out of the box) so unless you are wanting to learn all about linux / asterisk then buy the prebuilt.

Well there are MANY small motherboards out there but as for working with trixbox out of the box you will not find many if any.

I pointed you to the easy way (still would require some skills)
If you where thinking that you could pull this off on the cheap, you need to rethink your goals.
If you are looking to purchase a unit, then your first step is to forget about trixbox and start from a baremetal box and install what you need.

trixbox is an ISO built around intel / AMD hardware and it IS NOT designed for small weak boards and non-intel processors.

I have used small eeepc boxes myself and I would say they work for a small office or big home. The boxes cost 300.00 each BEFORE I built the PBX software for each one,
the end cost to the customer was $200.00 bucks per box for my work. So he had over 500.00 in each box, but he will never be able to reload them hisself.

He was happy with the boxes, but he finally understood what I had told him before I started...buy a dell small form factor...almost as quiet and uses a little more eletricity but is something he can control / load trixbox without help ($$).
