My SheevaPlug is 7W (normal operation: 3W or less), 512MB RAM, only 512MB of<br>
NAND (though you can use a SD card like me, or a slower USB). CPU is a 1.2GHz<br>

It is almost identical to the SheevaPlus (same processor , same speed), but the price is 1/2 to 1/3 of what it would cost you to buy a single SheevaPlug yourself.<br>(including Shipping, Handling and Taxes).<br><br>Cons:<br>

Price was "100$", which did not include S&H.<br>
