After more digging and finding burnt traces on the systemboard, I ended up horsetrading some hardware. I ended up with a 3 GHZ p4 d with 2 GB nic's and a gb of ram, two 160 GB sata 3.0 drives (Dell SC440). I know it's overkill but I think that it will do really good as a firewall that can be rolled into a mail server or someother type of server. The new box will be here before the 16th of july. I will let you know how it runs.
