I'm pondering the idea of trying to build a relatively inexpensive 10Gb capture box. The simple solution is a dell R710 with 10Gb nics. I have some, they work, but I'd have to spend $50k to get enough of them.
So, my challenge is keeping the price point is something around $1000-$1500 - basically the 10Gb version of a 1u gigE capture system. In general, I probably don't need to ever write 10Gb/s to disk, but it would be nice load the dice for success. My thoughts are a reasonable performance motherboard with 10Gb PCIe nics or a white box mobo with onboard SFP+ ports. Anyone gone this route?
