I ended up getting a refurb HP t730
Thin Client with a 16GB M.2 drive
for close to what I would've spent on
an APU2 for gateway/router use,
and I put a $20 quad Intel 350 NIC in
its slot, because the onboard is
Realtek. The much larger L2 cache than
the APU2 has can come in very
handy if I have the thing running any
crypto, but it seems to idle at
17W on the Kill-A-Watt, which isn't
great for an always-on device, but
it could be a lot worse. Fanless
would've been nice, but barring the
APU2, I would've had to compromise too
much. Thoughts on these in
comparison to the Zotac and Shuttle
units?
This one does not have the wifi card,
which is ubiquitous on eBay and
elsewhere, but unfortunately, the
internal antennae that mount to the
chassis are not. The only info I have
on the antennae is on page 19 of
this PDF:
http://h22235.www2.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/Countries/_MultiCountry/disassembly_deskto_201511423012668.pdf
Any chance somebody knows a place where
dead units get sent where I
might fetch those exact antennae? I
don't want to mount generic ones
randomly.

HP's parts store is at http://partsurfer.hp.com. You can search there by
the system's SKU, then buy the part
there, or grab the part number to
search other sellers.

Nice, what's the source? I could
use some of those but I'm not seeing
them for less than $40 on amazon or
ebay.

The two I mentioned are fanless.
I'll do a power check when I get a chance,
but I'm running spinning media (SSHD),
so I don't know if it would be a good
comparison.

Phoronix did a comparison of several
mini PCs, as well:

Small Form Factor Linux PCs

Try "NC365T" as your search term.

I meant _durability_ comparison.
