While not quite meeting your requirements, I don't think you can beat
the value of a Netra T1. I got two 500Mhz 512MB 64-bit Sparc boxes off
eBay for $50 each. They come with two 100 Mbs ports, to which I added
Sun Quad Fast Ethernet 4-port pci adapter for $12 each off eBay. While
having a fan, it is relatively quite - the whole box runs at 20 watts.
So, for about ~$220 (including shipping), I have two CARPed 6-port PF
boxes. As a bonus, I feel that the Netra T1s using a Sparc processor
is safer - as most exploits target x86...
Cheers,

Hi,
I'm looking for hardware to install an openbsd based dsl-router.
I already searched the list archives and looked at WRAP and Soekris,
but it seems that they do not match my requirements:
- fanless
- as small as possible
- at least 2, better 3 ethernet ports
- a wlan-card (as access point in hostap mode)
- mainboard and other hardware should work with openbsd of course,
would be nice to see output from hw.sensors*
- storage should have at least 10GB, I think this leads to a real
ide/sata-disk (maybe 2.5")
- vga-output (because I have no other machine with a serial port to do
the installation)
- lcd-display (something that is supported by lcdproc, which seems to
work fine on openbsd)
Not a requirement, but nice-to-have: usb-2.0 port(s).
Does anyone know a company or vendor which builds such an
(openbsd-)ready system fulfilling the above requirements?
Or did I need to start buying all pieces (maybe mini-itx based?) and
assembly them on my own?
Any hints?
Regards,
Joerg
