Well considering I've had absolutely no issues with the RB1000 and RB750 related to software, yes I do believe I can expect a similar experience with different hardware given proper research. With the exception of one RB750 that's not connected to UPS, I've had no problems reaching uptimes of months or more. I'm looking for input from you guys on what to consider and what to stay away from.

Experiences definitely seem to vary from person to person - I know you've had particularly terrible luck with the RB751s however I've heard the opposite from others. Maybe it's just a crapshoot?

Do you believe you're going to get any better results with an RB?  If so I
can show you my last four 751's - max uptime of just a couple of weeks.

Thanks Travis-

I've looked at those units many times, but I've also read reports of
random lockups and reboots with them and the x86 version of routerOS. Have
you had any issues with them and if so, what version have you found to be
the most stable?

These are the best little X86 based boxes you can buy (for the money). We
have some we are pushing over 100Mbps and the CPU is less than 10%:

Hi guys,

I lost my "beloved" RB1000 the other day due to fan failure and it's
time to start considering what I should replace it with (and what to stock
a spare of).

This will be a router for my company (not a WISP). Our internet feed is
50Mb and on average, I would say there is no more than 25-30Mbit being
pushed through the unit, however I did notice a huge performance hit when I
plopped in my temporary RB750 to get my internet connection back up and
running. I don't run much in the way of simple queues other than Butch's
QoS script. I have a handful of firewall rules dictating which subnets can
talk to who. The router also has an EoIP tunnel to another router for
failover and acts as a PPTP VPN server.

I'm looking for something that will offer similar performance to what my
RB1000 provided me. Port count isn't critical, but I'd like at least 3 and
they have to be gigabit. I'm not overly concerned about rackmount or not as
I have a shelf I could set the unit on. By far the most critical piece
though has to be stability - both in the platform itself and ethernet
performance.

So far, I've been looking at the RB450G, the RB1200 and the RB800. I've
looked at a few of the x86 boards, but I believe these might be overkill
for my particular application.

What do you guys think?
