[Gllug] MiniPC with 2x NIC

[Robert]

Hi all,

A project I'm looking to do at home is to replace my broadband router
with a "modem -> Linux box -> router" replacement for some fun and
experience.

But I'm struggling to find the ideal, and cheap box that'll be my
gateway. I'm ideally looking for something small (booksize), fanless
(atom?), and with 2x NIC's built in rather than wifi+nic or USB-NIC
hanging off. Optical devices not required as will install Linux via USB.

Something along the lines of an Aopen DE2700 for example. Is there
something you have experience with and recommend please?

My usage will be to learn about firewalls, IPS/IDS, logging, general
networking and such.

Many thanks
Rob
