Goals:
We only have a 1.5mbit connection, but it's guaranteed so I'd like to do some caching during the night when we're asleep to the common sites we visit/etc, and I'd also like the cache to work with windows updates, steam and origin games/patches if possible.
Semi-Plan
Since we only have 1.5mbit I'm hoping to run this on an ATOM or Intel low-low power CPU with 1 SSD to start, and then monitor writes/reads and possibly upgrade to RAID10 of S3500 drives.(Currently have ATOM with Linux already in ITX setup I could use)
I don't need this to do anything but act as a caching appliance.
We have cisco/zyxel router/firewall setup, so don't need any more duties like that.
Linux+Squid and then write a script to hit a url list I specify in the night to prime the cache?
