mm, soekris. The net4801 certainly has an IDE connector (small format one though, presumably with 2.5" drives in mind.). They also boot off CF though, and the price of CF cards coupled with their convenience for other stuff makes using one quite an attractive option. Could even netboot it, I guess :)

I just bought a miniPCI WLAN for mine - need to find an antennae or two now. A directional one pointing straight up should do (the Soekris is the downstairs ADSL router, with a wired network upstairs currently isolated from the 'net :/).

Has anyone had any experience purchasing Wifi antennaes in the UK? Any reccommendations as to supplier? I need the antennae(s) and pigtail(s).

I could also do with a larger case for it - want to put a full size PCI card in the PCI slot (ADSL modem).
