Well, I see it for 320. Then you need to add a SSD, and a decent network card, and I suppose it could be made to work. Awful big, tho, in an era where I can get 1/2TB on an 2.5 inch SSD.<br><br>What I'd wanted was closer to a dreamplug - 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.<br>
<br>Principal use case here is to be a "network monitor" with enough oomph to run stuff like cacti/mrtg/snmp tools, as well as do captures off of a mirrored switch port.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 3, 2013 at 10:10 AM, Dave Taht <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave.taht@gmail.com" target="_blank">dave.taht@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I know this is no where near an embedded device but I just got one of these<br>
on sale (new model out) for $220 and I think it's the most useful all-round<br>
cheap server box I've ever seen. Some people have it running 16 GB ram and<br>
I've got mine booting off an SSD via external eSATA. Very well built with 2<br>
x half height PCI slots (4 x eth port card?). Only missing USB3 ports and<br>
hot-swap drive space. And, very quiet with just an SSD.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>I'd be very interested to know how fast it could do packet header captures.<br><br>Line rate (gigE) would be good. <br><br>Does it do BQL? (what is the onboard ethernet chips)<br>
