As a "for instance"... A 1U Supermicro case with a P3TSSE motherboard, 1.26Ghz PIII, 128MB RAM, floppy, and a riser card is $725 (www.micropro.com). A four port Dlink DFE-570TX is $125. The DFE-570TX is a quad Tulip chip clone, I have no real idea if the Gnatbox supports it not. (I know single Tulip chipset cards work dandy).
