Just threw a perfectly fine (and surprisingly responsive) Compaq SFF Deskpro EN (1.13GHz PIII-S [Tualatin! The server edition], 512MB SD/133 RAM and an 80GB HDD) in the computer recycling bin by the side of the road at Paerata. I hatesss it. -- /Shaun.

2 ethernet cards and it would make a decent IPCop with Update Accelerator. That said, there is power consumption to consider.
Indeed. It actually had excellent on-board (enterprise-class) ethernet so only one card would have been needed. It was rather frugal with it's power requirements (good design, ducted airflow, not heaps of fans) but of course compared with modern gear - not so much. -- /Shaun.
