Need cheap+dual NIC+atom/equiv+TINY

[omega-x]

there's a few miniITX boards with atom on ebay for cheap, but they arent dual NIC.
i guess i could stick a NIC on it but i cant make it very compact that way.


I basically need the most bang for the buck at the absolute minimum of power usage to run a m0n0wall box.

You could get a low profile NIC.

True.

That'd leave: what good ITX cases are slim and have a low profile bracket?

 

[mrmylanman]

This seems to be fairly popular and actually has a full size bracket

Maybe this one too, you can use a riser for it

going with this to cut costs.


Already have DDR1 ram laying around and the CF reader onboard saves money too.

CPU should be comparable to the atom (either one is overkill as a firewall but once you throw VPN in...)

Pity the atom desktop boards are power hogs due to the chipsets too.

These guys have a whole lot of stuff:

I kinda wanted to build mini itx stuff just from seeing what is available lol.
