If you are not set on that particular board you can try http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/#Atom. The 5015A-EHF or the 5015A-PHF in particular.
I personally have the 5015A-H and it does the job without any problems. -----Original Message----- From: Mehma Sarja [mailto:mehmasa...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 2:23 PM To: pfsense Subject: [pfSense Support] Enclosure recommendations for a Mini ITX Motherboard 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.
