bmarkus:
There are more and more ARM boards. I just found MarsBoard:

I just received 5 of these boards for testing purposes.
They now also sell a a20 version as the a20 is an almost drop-in replacement for the a10.

You could also look at the cubieboard (this one has a power connector for the sata port onboard, marsboard doesn't have this )

If you opt for the marsboard, don't forget to buy a mini-hdmi cable, because it's not supplied with the board.

bmarkus:
Which operatings ystem are you running on? Boards are interesting specially with the many I/O conenction possibilities at the side of board, including line in. Please share your experience.

wmeertens:
They are pre-flashed with an android version, which isn't really stable, and actually is quite unusable, apart from browsing the web.

On the marsboard site they offer some ubuntu flavours. I will probably give these a quick try. And afterwards either invest some time to get it working with either Debian or TinyCore.

I also bought these boards because of all the I/O options, and especially the line in. I hope I will have some time to play with the boards this week. As soon as I have some interesting results I'll give some feedback.
