The GuruPlug, next-gen SheevaPlug, will give you 2 Gb ethernet (good
for a home gateway router) and 1 eSATA (good for reliable and fast
disk access, but not for RAID), plus wifi, 2 USB, 1 microSD, ...

You can run Debian on it, so anything you want to do is possible,
except for the RAID storage over eSATA. I ordered one GuruPlug to use
it at home instead of my current WRT router + NSLU2 NAS
combo. My use case is very similar to yours, except that I rely on
external backups over the network for reliable storage.
