I think building a Cleversafe appliance might be a good alternative. I 
was kicking around the idea of taking a Terastation 
(http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/terastation/), 
which runs Linux, and modify it to run the Cleversafe stack. This has 
the advantage of being a very low power and quiet device that could be 
dedicated to doing that one job.
