Frank,
I haven't bought one yet but need a router with 2 x GiGe for my head end
and am considering one of these. I especially like the 12v only power
source - big honking battery maintained by a modest UPS modified to have
the 12v leads outside the case. Note that several of these models are
fanless. Do not yet know about hardware support vis a vis sensors, etc.
I was looking at your foxchannel pics and wondered if the hard drive
might be the source of your heat? Maybe use the external SATA connectors?
Otherwise, I've been using the 3-port ALIX boards for some fairly
serious routing/NAT/source routing/various other rule mangling with
great success and reliability.

However, I am now hitting some problems. The case completely blocks
the CPU fan (see photos in second link) resulting in ineffective
cooling, constant high fan rpm and fan noise. Within a few seconds of
popping off the lid the fan slows to a tolerable (very quiet) RPM.
This causes concern for deploying many of these boxes in remote
offices - will the heat cause stability problems?
I tried to install lm-sensors but sensor-detect couldn't find any temp
sensors. I'm sure they are there but the lm-sensors package for lenny
doesn't recognize them. There is a lot of forum chatter about this.
Compiling the latest lm-sensors would probably fix this.
Also, I am noticing a laptop connected to the USB ethernet adapter on
this board has a flapping interface every 14-15 minutes. Not sure if
this is being caused by the USB dongle or the kernel driver, or who
knows...

Frank,
Whose ATOM board are you using?
