I have been looking at getting one of these <a href="http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=40">http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=40</a>, a little expensive but designed for what you want. Their thin client is dual lan which is a bit odd for a thin client but would make a nice router <a href="http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=27">http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=27</a> and is a fair bit cheaper <br>

If you're game for building one, the boards at <a href="http://mini-itx.com/" target="_blank">http://mini-itx.com/</a> are worth a look. There are (well, last time I bought one) many with two or more NICs mostly with low power fanless CPUs.<br>

Subject: [Gllug] MiniPC with 2x NIC<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
A project I'm looking to do at home is to replace my broadband router<br>
with a "modem -> Linux box -> router" replacement for some fun and<br>
experience.<br>
<br>
But I'm struggling to find the ideal, and cheap box that'll be my<br>
gateway. I'm ideally looking for something small (booksize), fanless<br>
(atom?), and with 2x NIC's built in rather than wifi+nic or USB-NIC<br>
hanging off. Optical devices not required as will install Linux via USB.<br>
<br>
Something along the lines of an Aopen DE2700 for example. Is there<br>
something you have experience with and recommend please?<br>
<br>
My usage will be to learn about firewalls, IPS/IDS, logging, general<br>
networking and such.<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
Rob<br>
