I went ahead and jumped on to that board when you first posted and if they are all out, I'm glad i did. I bought the combo with that processor/motherboard and the total was 39.95+sh. I also put a D-link wireless card that should have worked in my soekris had it not been the 5V version in that one PCI slot. I picked up 64MB of ram this morning (second hand, but with 30-days to return it) for $10. The case is on its way at 30.00. the rest of the parts like the HDs, CDROM, cpu cooler, etc I had laying around. I'm going to attempt to get a file/print server running on it with m0n0wall using the new unsupported feature in the latest beta. It'll be nice to have around 200GB of storage back that I had to put away because I didn't have enough free IDE controllers. -Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Tollison" <kevin at triadsurveyors dot com> To: "'Charles Toepoel'" <monowall at toepoel dot net> Cc: <m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch> Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 9:33 AM Subject: RE: [m0n0wall] My m0n0wall box > Hi, > > The prices are pretty OK, but what is so special about the boxes ?

I know the Soekris http://www.soekris.com/ units are preferred (I want one eventually), but I like the ability to replace parts if necessary, I know the one PCI slot could be a problem if a NIC went out but where else can you replace a processor for $3.00 http://www.globalcomputer.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpN o=776913&Sku=CP2-CI366%20X10 I only have a need for 2 NIC's at the moment anyway, and I am sure others have similar needs. It is by no means perfect nor will it fulfill every need. Just thought I would share my noob projects, and maybe help other noob's. Kudos to Manuel, I found m0n0wall a month or so ago and started playing with it.
