I would recommend http://www.mini-itx.com/ and a cheap four port ethernet card. I just did a quick look around google and it looks like all of the four port 100mb cards are pci-x. You also will need a pci riser like here for example

Hi folks. Currently I have a Wireless network serving in my town using a small form factor (mini-itx) PC with OpenBSD for pf,squid, and dns cache. I need recommendations for a network appliance in rack mode with flash storage and five rj45 ports. Can anyone recommended a solution for my needs ?
