Mirco, Thanks for the suggestion of the jetway motherboard. This pretty close to what i am looking for. The addition of the DOM (Disk on Module) really makes this an ideal solution. How is the performance of the Via C7 chip and the dual Gigabit? How have you configured the two gigabit ports? Did you pair them? Could you also share how you setup the DOM. I am curious to find out what you did for a swap partition (if you even used one at all). Lastly what case / power supply did you end up sticking all this stuff in? thanks -N ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
