[Gllug] MiniPC with 2x NIC

[Tim Hughes]

I have been looking at getting one of these
http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=40, 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 http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=27 and
is a fair bit cheaper
