For higher demands than a Alix can deliver we use Jetway MB's with a daughterboard option, like the NC9C-550-LF and AD3INLANG Links: http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?productid=781&proname=NC9C-550-LF http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?productid=683&proname=AD3INLANG-LF Jetway has some boards with daugherboard possibility. The daughterboard can be with realtek or intel chipset. Then you have a total of 4 Gbit interfaces
We've used those on a couple of recent projects, and been fairly impressed. It's also a nice way of getting proper Intel NICs in a low-cost platform (most of which seem to use the cheapest Realtek thing they can find).
My only concern - and it's one I've not been able to test as yet - is what the bandwidth on the daughterboard interface is. i.e. could you push wire speed through all 3 daughterboard NICs simultaneously?
Depending on the case you could come under $300.
Hah! As usual the famous 1:1 GBP:USD exchange rate strikes again - I think the last one I did came in at around 270 GBP.
