How about a Raspberry Pi PC as a possible starting point.

No idea what hardware it's got on-board but it's certainly cheap (around
$25) and runs Linux.

HI all, I am designing a product which makes use of a single board
computer and has the following requirements:

Ex: Beagleboard is a pretty good example to start with
- Can run Linux, similar specifications to the Beagleboard XM (doesn't
need to be particularly powerful), mono/stereo audio input (for
recording audio), ethernet.

Things that the Beagleboard XM does not come with that I would like:
- I would ideally like to find a unit that comes with onboard wifi.
- A unit with a case would be nice.
- Extra onboard audio stuff would be great (amplifier, volume control,
audio line distributor, things like that).
- I will be using maybe a 100 of these devices, so a lower cost than
the $150 beagleboard would be nice, but is not a top priority

Can anyone recommend anything else?
