Hey guys I'm messing around with the idea of a unix firewall box for a customer but I want a real small box to build it in. I'm pretty much wanting something with a single drive bay right above the board. Slim line prefered. I'm thinking like the dell gx270 size or the size of that hp unit that uses a pentium m. A short 1u case would also work(one that is like 10 or 12 inches deep. Any ideas? On the cheap would be nice but really anything within reason. Trying not but custom make this because if it works we may want to spread this to some other clients. Also mini-itx may work with a board with a celeron or p4 or something but the price of the board has to be within reason. I'm going to have this box doing spam scanning, proxy etc so the via boards are pretty much out(not powerful enough for everything I want to run, already tried it).
