  Have you found a source for the Minitar boards?  I didn't look to hard, but
  the Australian page on had sources in Australia.

  It's a tough call, the original appeal to me of the WRAP is that it is about
  half the cost of a Soekris.  Cheap is a good thing.  The cheaper it is the
  more we can get deployed which helps us in terms of creating a denser mesh.
  If we could build a complete box for $100 or less that would be way cool.

  If we can find a source for the Minitar I'll buy one or two to play with.  
  I'm also going to buy a WRAP they're available.
