Forgot to mention...150 cable customers on the remote side of a wireless
link as well.

This is my main distribution point, 1 wireless hop away from my main POP.
270 wireless units all in bridge mode + customer PC/Router routing through
it. All 8 ethernet ports are routing, not using bridging. Using RIP
between MT routers across wireless links at remote WiPOPs.

What are you doing with the RB532 to make it load so much?
Possible to use a PC with 512 to 1 gig ram, 3.0 cpu, 2 MT RB44 ethernet
boards (this would give you 8 etherports) and Mikrotik OS level 5 or 6.
Does it have to be a rack mount? Or can you mount it on a shelf installed
in
the rack. A mini case would fit in that space.
Mine is working great with a hundred + customers, it's got a 3.0 intel
cpu
on an asus motherboard, 512 ram, mini tower case, with 1 RB44 4 port nic
card, running QOS, Firewall rules, and everything else to go with
routing.
No hard drive, has cd rom and the only moving part is case fan and cpu
fan.

I need more horsepower at one router site.
It's got a MT RB532 (233MHz/32MB) and it is pegging at 100% at times,
mostly
in the 85% range, though. The location has a 19" rack (only about 18"
deep,
though). Need 8 FastEthernet ports. No wireless. Want to user Mikrotik
RouterOS.
Can anyone recommend a box for this?
Thanks.
