we have some (as in, stacks) marvell 8618 dev boards taking up space at
work. (hmmm... i should check that they haven't already been sent to the
recycler). 

i know that they aren't completely populated w/ peripherals, but you'd
have a 200mhz arm 5te + wireless/usb/serial/gpios (these are on the
board but some pins are hard to get to from the bga so there are fewer
gpios than the datasheet lists).
