Greetings! While trying to learn IPv6 as best as I can and messing with my Linksys WRT54Gv3 router running DD-WRT, I realized that it cannot properly do IPv6 yet. This leaves me rather limited. More then once some people on IRC who were helping me with this suggested I build my own router, this has been something I've been looking to do for quite some time and this might be the fire I need lit to get motivated. The overall suggested board was an ALIX board[1] from PC Engines[1].
This is all rather new to me so I am unsure where to go from here, what all is needed (a breakdown of necessary/optional hardware/items). The memory and cpu I know I could google for w/o much issue. What I foresaw as problematic was a case for the device and a power supply. Are these just as easily googled for? Inversely, instead of me building my own (which would be great experience!) is there a place that sells devices such as these pre-assembled? The reason I direct this question here is because I do intend to use FreeBSD as the devices OS and figured who better to ask!
