I picked up a pair of cheap Asus EEE boxes. Not quite beefy enough to run a modern version of Windows (indeed that is how I got them), but for OpenBSD paired in failover and purposed as my original post said? Remarkable! Only 32 bit Atoms inside but more than enough ooomph for their purposes. They are also dirt cheap to operate as far as electricity goes (though that isn't much of an issue here our electricity is only 7.183 kw/h)
If you do set up an OpenBSD box as a small router remember that is is still a full computer. You can install squid as a proxy, install a mail gateway, your own DNS, etc. There's no need to leave it there simply shuffling packets if you don't want to.
As a bonus you can work in another unix and get some skill there.
I have used DD-WRT on several WRT54G devices. It's OK but flakey, at least for myself. At least once every couple of weeks or so I would have to power cycle.
As a gateway/router/wifi point, OpenBSD is excellent. My comment is very relevant to the story. For example, my own setup has OpenBSD acting as a router/NAT/etc. box. For guests there is a wifi network it broadcasts and routes only to the world. Also has a VLAN for DMZ, outside accessible services, etc.
It's not name dropping if it's true.
If only there were a way to get my favourite TV shows soon after being broadcast, preferably in high-definition and without commercials, so I could watch from the comfort of my couch at my leisure.

Well, I just bought a RAID of 24 SSDs with 5 TB usable. All for only $50k.
Being/. I am surprised you haven't had this yet:
That was dumb. You could have bought some cheap drives at NewEgg, run them in a GNU/Linux RAID with lots of RAM for caching, set it up as an iSCSI target with optional NFS for cool GNU/Linux users (and CIFS for Windoze lusers!!1`1). A few good gig E ports to bind together and you would have saved $48K.
I could admin it for you if you open up telnet for me. Mail l337h4x0r@aol.com if interested.
I don't know what every single person was doing, but some (myself included) did have budget spreadsheets open that we were sent. At least on my own iPad those were being actively edited.
I've often sat in meeting with mine and used SSH or VNC to devices I manage.
Only a few weeks ago I was in a meeting. There were 2 laptops and 6 iPads in the room. I think that was the first time I saw 3x more tablets in a meeting of that size (or at least that I remember noticing)
People outside of Canada have probably never heard of The Brick until now. It's one of the stores I refuse to go in to. The salespeople jump on you the moment you step in the door and don't stop.

Sure but the storage is pretty slow, it would defeat the purpose of running squid unless conserving bandwidth was your only goal.

Who has that anymore?
Poor people, the type who can afford only Android devices.
Thank goodness for OpenBSD and a bit of elbow grease.
I was being facetious :) We have 2x Apple TVs (Netflix & YouTube) and 3x PopcornHour media streamers. Torrents and usenet fuel the latter.

Wickr works amazingly well.
The BileBall? All I know about The BileBall it is that it has an Old and New Testicle. I'm fine with that.

Actually the IKEA here (Winnipeg) is very relaxed. They don't get in the way and will help when asked.
