Don't think the SSDs make any difference unless for some weird reason you are running the OS from it! For web caching it works so much better.

Just seen a WISP here over the weekend show me his new core router. Core 2 Duo in a rackmount 4U case with 5 PCI network cards and Solid State Hard Drive. And 2 gigs of RAM. I think the Solid State Hard Drive is whats gonna make that thing last forever. As long as he doesn't have a power supply failure but that can be replaced fairly quickly without needing to re-install the system. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O.

Personally, I would be looking at an Intel Core2Duo or higher system. There are many for sale on ebay in 1u cases. Something like item #170451664096 would be perfect... I'm sure there are many other choices on ebay, this was just the first one that came up.
