Never had any issues with any of  the HP TC nics and AstLinux, up through the T5740 at least

The flash can easily be upped to 2GB for cheap, or if one obtains a 44 pin female to female ribbon cable and a 44 pin IDE flash card, then ( almost ) the sky is the limit!
The T5730 is quite old, and seldom seen either new or used these days.
IMO, the T5740 or newer are better choices these days in the used market for single NIC units.
All the HP TC units are quite reliable though.
We have many users on our collectors network that once set up, the node just works. Not a large number of users per node, nor much use of VM.

YMMV
