Four such computers in a single box would be ideal for the way I run
my ham data-modes (packet/PACTOR/APRS/BPSK31 setup - 24/7 each). Too
bad we can't get that in a box the size of a toaster at a price that
is less than $100.



The 'box the size of a toaster' part is out, but could you settle for
4 old blade servers, 1U size each, in a rack mount? If so, find a
surplus property auction in your area (large state university,
government agency, etc.) and you will probably be able to pick up
something along those lines.
