Will the new computer connect to two Ethernet networks? Why?

I built homebrew desktops using Antec tower cases and Intel desktop
boards for many years. The last was based on a Sonata chassis with an
included 500 W PSU. It's very easy to add/ remove drives and has low
noise features -- the four internal 3.5" drive bays feature vibration
isolation grommets, the main cooling fan is large diameter with
selectable RPM, the PSU fan is speed controlled, etc.. An Intel
single-socket ATX server board and Antec "silent" tower chassis would be
a good starting point. I would buy a new chassis, rather than used; so
that no parts are missing.
