Hi Everyone,

I am looking for an idea board which would include 4 or more NIC ports, support PCI(e) card, 1GB embedded RAM, fanless, 1U format fitable, CF card support, fit two pfsense in one case for CARP.

I think above are too idea and I might not be able to find any. But I am giving this a lucky shot here. The closest I found is the Alix2d13 and Sockeris net5501.

Alix2d13 has only 3 NIC ports and not really idea. But it has built in support for VPN AES-128-CBC which works great and I use a lot of VPN for admin. It's also of great price. But it lacks a PCI slot. I was thinking of adding a PCI(x) card to the board.

Sockeris is a little over-board with the price specially with it's case and everything. But it does have 4 NIC ports and a PCI slot bu I think VPN is yet another miniPCI card purchase which puts the price for this close to a Via (with FAN) board.

I am open to any and all suggestions for anything close, exact, or above the specs I have asked for.

I want to stay away from anything with FAN as there are more components to die. Oh, and I would really like some sort of RAID for CF card or IDE support as it will make the ultimate router box.

I also like Adapters made in a smart way which take less space, and stuck to the power bar rather than being chunky and falling of the power bar in the data center.


Please enlighten me with your suggestions.

Thanks


Do you know about the Lanner devices?
We use it for some costumers and would say it is really good quality.
It has 2x Gbe & 4x 10/100 ports and speedy 1.6 GHz CPU.

Take a look on it! You can use an IDE HDD, nor CF-Card.
Memory with some devices max 4GB, but for almost of all of it 2GB DDR2
