I want to build an IPCOP firewall for use at home. IPCOP touts that you can use any old systems laying around to do this. My problem is my wife does not share my passion for computers and will NOT let me build another systems just to serve as a firewall (she doesn't understand network security, and doesn't want to 
). Thus, I have started a quest to locate the smallest system I can find that will support 4 ethernet ports (10/100 is fine), 256mb RAM i, 20GB harddrive, and minimal graphics. Ideally, it would not require a fan. I have found several mini-itx systems that meet these requirements, but they are extreamly expensive. Can anyone direct me to something that I mcan use for this project?
TIA,
Jon
