You're right. I very much appreciate your patriotism but....

..... I have been down that path on many occasions, trying to suss out 
some fanless mobos. On all those occasions, the Australian delas have 
looked like blatant rip-offs and I've ended up buying thin clients in 
the US, delivered to my door cheaper than the sydeney-siders could do 
it. That said, I must admit that the everythinglinux.com.au ones look 
competitive, I've just never come across those ones before.

Thanks for the tip.
