Google searches indicate $300. if the RTL8111C-GR ethernet work well with routerOS, then it's a good little system. It'd also make a pretty nice little server if CPU needs aren't extreme, you don't need 64bit, or virtualization. It's probably pretty easy on the power bill. On Tue, Jul 28,

Josh, You wouldn't need a NIC unless you want dual ethernet (comes with one on motherboard). But you do need to put in a stick of laptop memory and a boot device. Maybe USB flash, IDECF or SATA DOM, because the CF slot is hard to get at. Oh, the one I have says 19V DC power brick, so I don't

Oh, Josh, just realized that MSI Wind computer has no PCI or PCIe slots, nor ATA. Anything you add to it would have to go into USB, SATA, CF slot or miniPCI express slot. So it would be harder to add a second ethernet to this version. If you want to route, it would either be USB ethernet

Gino, How many ports? What have you found for PCIe ethernet? A quick look at Newegg for 4 ports only shows Intel, at $400. So the ethernet card costs more than the server. If you stick with PCI (other Atom motherboards) you can use the cheaper Mikrotik 4port gigE (~$90). Total build cost
