I think I would like to keep IPS turned on... how much more resources would that need?

I don't have the exact numbers. Since memory is cheap, you can get 2GB of ram for under $75, I would just have 2GB of RAM on the system. I rather be safe than sorry.

Just to clairify, are these the specs we are talking about?

2GB RAM
80+ GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive
2 - 3 NIC's
Dual Core CPU (what speed?)

Thanks

How much do those cost with a rack kit?

gotkimchi · 11-02-2007, 05:41 PM

List is $1195 for the XD+ and $125 for the rack kit. Most likely, you will get your education discount. I am not a sales guy, so, I dont have the exact discount info. From your info, I can refer you to our SE rep Dave Barber for more pricing discount info.

So, what do you think of this hypothetical setup? Seems like it should work quite well:

Corsair XMS2 2GB(2 x 1GB) DDR2 675 PC2 5400 Dual Channel System Memory Kit, 240-Pin, Unbuffered, Non-ECC. Model: TWIN2X2048-5400C4 $53.99 x 2 = 107.98 (4GB Total RAM)
ASUS P5L-VM 1394 LGA775 mATX Motherboard, Intel 945G Chipset, Supports Intel Core2 Duo CPUs, Dual DDR2 667 $84.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 LGA 775 Conroe Dual-Core CPU BX80557E6320, 1.86 GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 65 nm $179.99
WD Caviar SE16 250GB SATA Hard Drive WD2500KS, 300 MB/s, 7200RPM, 16MB Cache. $67.99
Black Pioneer 18X SATA DVD Burner DVR-212, 10X DVD+/-DL, 8X DVD+RW, 6X DVD-RW. $28.99
Black Ultra MicroFly Aluminum Micro ATX Computer Case ULT33117 w/ Clear Side Window. $65.99
Black CoolMax 500W EPS Computer Power Supply M-500B, 20+4 pin, Supports SATA & PCI Express, w/ 120mm Silent Fan & Fan Control $39.00
Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Low-Profile Network Adapter $28.99 x 2 = $57.98

Total cost would be $650.27 w/ shipping

If CPU is changed to

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 CPU BX80562Q6600, 8MB L2 Cache, Quad-Core

The price goes up by $99 for a total of $749.27

I would do a search in forums for the word "ASUS". I don't remember seeing anyone getting that flavor motherboard working with Untangle. Poke around to be sure.

Some other Asus boards show as having been used in the forums plus http://linux-tested.com/results/asus_P5l_vm1394.html shows this as a good linux board. All the chipsets are supported in linux, the only thing that may cause a problem is you have to manually install the driver for the onboard NIC.

you need FAST hard disks and SATA is not it. Go with 15k SAS drives and a 3ware hardware raid card with a BBU installed. Go with at least 4 gigs of ram. Also the 945G is a desktop chipset and not designed or validated for the level of traffic you are going to throw at it. If you want specific advice let me know..<G>
