  1. Low-Profile Firewalls?

    rhyder asks: "I have seen articles on Low Power Computers , and articles on Cool Cases, and a few on Very Small Servers. What I would like to do is use a generic Pentium-Class to Pentium II Motherboard inside a small case with a power supply enough for 1 drive and a single CPU. My intention is to build a box which will run the NetBSD-I386 Firewall Project . Check it out, it is a remarkable free firewall. I already have enough juice polluting the atmosphere, and I would like to keep it to a minimum with this and future projects. Where can I find either slim X86 Clients or cases which meet the above description, and of course, get the best value for the $$$?" We've discussed firewall appliances before, but I think size and power consumption were never really discussed.

    DreamerFi writes, "NetBSD/i386 Firewall is a free firewall solution for people with a permanent Internet connection. This includes most users of cable or ADSL services, but also businesses with leased lines. The version that went up this weekend also supports folks who get their IP through DHCP, instead of just fixed IP addresses. The maintainers will now start to look at adding services like Web, mail, etc., just like the IBM Interjet that recently featured on Slashdot, so this is the time to get your feature requests in! "
