Aleutia's and Other Mini-ITX Linux friendly hardware

I have been for the past year making a personal major shift over to Flash storage and Mini-ITX boards because of carbon footprints. I have a Zotac box which has been running great after I did it's initial flash. I had to take off the back plate and slip it into it's VESA mount holder. Temps dropped over 20C doing that so now they are at ~ 40C. Otherwise Kingston's SSD; 70C max temp was being hit. I didn't want a complete meltdown.

I found this manufacturer last night. The have some relatively competitive pricing, (~200#) for what these boxen do. I think they are stocked or can be shipped to the USA. The reason I'm putting up is because not only are they made to run in a production ambient environment at extreme temps for operation/dust (~40C), but they also can be made to run on solar power. These are all Atoms, single and dual with NV ION. Which I know is now aged, and I think Lenovo now leads the way in it's new X102E Fusion machines.  This manufacturer has the option of stock Ubuntu load.

Does anyone else know of Mini-ITX offerings around the $200-250 price point with no Linux issues? FitPC I know about, and like the aluminum concept for heat dispersal.
