Well, I see i= t for 320. Then you need to add a SSD, and a decent network card, and I sup= pose it could be made to work. Awful big, tho, in an era where I can get 1/= 2TB on an 2.5 inch SSD.

What I'd wanted was closer to a dreamplu= g - 160 bucks, two network ports, but with an internal SSD. bonus points if= it fit into a 1U rack and ate as little power as possible.

Prin= cipal use case here is to be a "network monitor" with enough oomph to run s= tuff like cacti/mrtg/snmp tools, as well as do captures off of a mirrored s= witch port.

Does it do BQL? (what is = the onboard ethernet chips)
