Recommend Single Board Computer (SBC)?

Question

Can anyone recommend an SBC for an upcoming project. I just need this to show a proof-of-concept.

Absolute Must Haves: RS232 serial port Removeable memory card (SD preferred, but CompactFlash would be OK). At least 8 digital outputs, (1 being a Form-C relay preferred).

Nice to haves: LCD character or similar display Ability to drive discrete LED's. (4 of the 8 digital outputs) On-board power regulation (will run from automotive 12VDC)

Really nice to have: Visual Basic programming capability. (Windows CE?) Ready-to-go code to read/write the removable memory.

Budget: $300, (QTY-1), but flexible if an alternative can speed up development. Remember, this is for "show and tell" only.

Thanks!!!!

Just look for a small PC like the VIA Artigo:Outputs, memory, serial port, etc can be connected thru USB.-- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simplyindicates you are not using the right tools...
