I completely agree, however, as a £99, very lower power,  x86 PC to run 
IPCop on, it's making me grin already...

Main points -
USB port to plug in a USB adsl modem - Check...
Wired ethernet port to connect to a network switch - Check...
Onboard 54G wireless to WPA connect to the laptop - Check...
Plug in a USB wireless dongle for a crippled WEP connection for the kids 
Nintendo DS's - Check...

Bonus points include -
The thing is tiny (around the size of my adsl router)
Very low power
No Hard drive
7" monitor :) built in
No fans - no noise.

Hmmm....
