Mini ITX?
I found a cool site for Mini-ITX stuff, but alas it's in the UK. I wanna build a tiny system as a smoothwall firewall/router, but I would hate for it to cost too much, like $200 max if possible.
Know of any good sites? Also any good hardware to look for?

id go after that first one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813153045
but the bad part is then you have to get a itx case, psu, and another nic, they do make itx boards with 2 nics but they are like $260 by themselves. i roccomend the small machine i used, but then you have to find a p4m
Otherwise, I would need to find this

With two nic's built in, which would be SWEET.

before you commit for smoothwall make sure they are supported by it. i had to use the alpha version to detect my onboard gigabit nic
I wonder if smoothwall has a AAA type of system.. if you don't know what that is it's basically instead of WEP or anything you can connect to the AP, but when you try to go anywhere in your browser you just get redirected to a login screen for a user name and password which must go through before you get internet access.
when you configure smoothwall theres diffrent types of interfaces. each one using another nic card.
red - from the internet
green - to the lan
blue - to a WAP
orange - to DMZ
id just dredge their forums looking for it. theres TONS of information on there.
Mainly based around Mods but has some nice info.
