[Cialug] Super low powered 2+ NIC Router?

[Nathan C. Smith]

I'd recommend an Alix board, they work really well.  If you need "more" SuperMicro has some small rack-mounted servers that are really nice for routers.

The Alix boards can run pfSense, IPCop, etc, or a small Linux distro.  They can have 3 Ethernet interfaces and a wireless one.  I get mine here: http://store.netgate.com/.  They have a rackmount case available too.

I've used Soekris boxes, but I think the Alix boards are cheaper and faster.

Looking for a recommendation on a small, low power (< 20w idle pref.), Linux based (supporting htb/iptables + upgradeable kernel) router/server with or without wifi, but above all having at least two Ethernet ports.

Small is good, or something that would fit in 1U rack mount.

And if you happen to have such a device laying around, you may feel free to try to sell it to me off-list. =)
