Hi Gavin, i have forgotten to speak about the factors price vs importance of the required system....
if the required system and the connection through this device is important, how important is it? How much money loose you if the device (connection) is dead? In this case is a lowend-box really cheap? Or make it more sense (huh pf-sense) to spend 200 or 300Ł more for a good reliable, stable Hardware? another point of view.... regards michael 2009/2/13 Michael Schuh <[email protected]> > Hi Gavin, > > hmmm i see no other chance to get this price with this features > as take the cheapest PC w Athlon/intel-cpu put 2 or 3 Intel NIC > on it. > Or take used Hardware......any old pc should do this job > good with enough memory.
