Does such a beast exist (used is okay) at under $400?
The Supermicro RS-SMX10TP4F-FIO is $600, but has a fairly old processor (Pentium D1508).
There is this build at $180 - https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/pfs-waaat-i5-3470t-intel-vt1000-1u-rack-mount-firewall-router/973
If I am doing the custom build, are there optimizations or changes I should make?
