Do you really want your fileserver and your firewall on the same box?

Also I concur with the ACP swapmeet, the same guys who sell those
crazy window in the side neon cases, also carry nice 2u, 4u and 6u
cases.  I got two of them the show 4 months ago, 4U 1 5.25" exposed,
3 5.25" internal, 3 3" internal.  Good ventalation, decent power
supply. He was asking 100/ea but I got the pair for 150.

Not as solid as the supermicro cases... but also 1/5 the price.
