I've been following the hardware threads comparing embedded versus more horsepower systems and came to the conclusion that I'd stick with my embedded Alix board because it is stable and low-power. Recently, however, I am seeing botnet attempts, reported via OpenDNS, against my home network. So, I want to run Snort. And here I'd need horsepower.

I researched an earlier post of "SUPERMICRO MBD-X7SPE-H-O Mini ITX Intel Atom" board and it looks like a good option. Albeit a bit expensive. It can handle 4 GB RAM. So the question is what kinds of enclosures are good for this form-factor? I'll probably go with a laptop drive. The enclosures at my local Fry's all look pretty flimsy and crappy.
