    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    Very big in Japan, I'm not sure but it might be something rebranded. Good quality, prices are competitive too. Yeah, its massive overkill but I figure why not? I'll write it off as a business expense anyway. Linux ZFS seems ok, guess I just have to wait and see. On Ubuntu it was simple to...

    Possible Site to Site VPN Solution

    Actually, this is exactly what I use at home! And yes, IPSEC performance at the top end is about 50Mbps - not much less than a 5510. But, add a crypto accelerator, and you could probably push 80~90Mbps. Also, use a normal HDD (or better yet, SSD partitioned to about 8GB) and you have an...
