hi, I a, in the process of building my home vm server with oVirt and came to conclusion that I might need a better router for my home setup.
I am currently bidding on HP GT7725 thin client on ebay to be my new router.
so #1 is it a good machine to run pfSense or Sophos UTM on?
the specs are 2G RAM 2.4mhz turion CPU. has a PCIe expansion board that I plan to put a second NIC into.
my main concern is storage. the unit comes with 1Gb flash, have anyone worked with it and is it possible to put an SSD or laptop drive in? I can not even find what type of flash storage is in the unit ie. CF card? SD card? what. no where is the specs mention it.
I do not have a big budget for this. I am hoping to get the unit for around $40 and maybe an intel NIC for $10-$20 bucks if I need the drive I guess total setup should still be under a $100
