That's why I run the fitlets... industrial grade, fanless, 4 ports... perfect. With appropriately sized RAM and storage, I think you're still under $500. http://www.fit-pc.com/web/order-by-pn/?pn=FITLET-GX-C67-FLAN-W or even more rugged... http://www.fit-pc.com/web/order-by-pn/?pn=FITLET-R-GX-C67-FLAN-W ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Keith C.

If you're looking for cheap today, dumpster dive an eight year old COTS computer and two or three cheap Gigabit NICS, and run pfSense. That's what I do right now. But a full sized desktop burns a lot of electricity, and if your're in a warm climate, it double-whammys you because you need to use even more electricity to air condition away the heat from the processor. I've been thinking of spending $400 for a very low power (perhaps fanless) computer capable of running 3 NICs, and putting pfSense on it. $400 today, but I probably earn back a buck a day.
