I use Cradle Point [http://cradlepoint.com/] gear for a lot of applications that are fixed. Most models have some sort of built-in ethernet switch, so you can add in whatever gear or use the robust built-in features. I deal with a lot of locations where wired bandwidth is either wholly unavailable or prohibitively expensive, so we take what we can get from WISPs and cell providers and often use a fail-over setup to mitigate down time. I know they make in-vehicle systems and my colleagues have used them for outfitting law enforcement vehicles and boats.
If you have to pay for power and/or have to deal with the environmental aspects of living/working near the multiple machines (heat, noise, etc.), then I would also suggest a single box.
You know there is some student; just like the rest of us, that is frantically wondering why cs.ucsb.edu will no longer load and wondering how he will complete his homework at the last second before class.
A smile sure spread across my face when I read the title. It made me think back to the scrolling funny headlins in the old Sim City games. I must not be the only one who though that right?
hmmm
I don't see the difference between using an ole whittlin' knife and guiding a dremel by hand. Unless you like to carve with a finger?--Must not have stubby hands like myself.

I love the chess allusion :)
Technically that is a dominant firm oligopoly, not a monopoly, is the point--picky, picky.
Are you using Chrome? I just noticed them running through the comments as well--very annoying.

James Surowiecki would disagree with you; you may be interested to read his book, "The Wisdom of Crowds."
