Hi brad,
With all of our field deployments we use back to back firewalls, Cisco
and openBSD. I buy a 1u rack mountable box out of canada, with a
customised front panel. It costs me, 1,200.00 USD per unit. It is
P4, 3.0 ghz. 40gb SATA, dual NIC. I have about 10 units hiding in
the jebel Ali warehouse. I could hook you up with one if you want.
If you want to go a little funky, I coudl give you the apple PPC 1u
rack mount also. Apple G5, single processor, 2gb Ram, CD Rom, vga,
dual hot swap able 250 gb SATA Drives for $2,150 USD.
