Best PC to Support Quad NIC

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

I am looking for a smallish form factor PC that can support a quad NIC. I am using an HP Prodesk 600 G3 SFF but it's larger than what I would want. I had a Protectli FW4B previously but it's not powerful enough with its CPU. The Lenovo Tiny would fit the bill but trying to find that PCI connector needed is a problem.

Thanks,
Steve

Have you thought of building / acquiring a used computer? 

If you build, a ITX motherboard comes to mind.  Make sure it can take the card you want to use.  As for cases, there many.  Just look for one that is small enough for the board and card.  Hell, you don't even need a harddrive if you don't want to.  You could install onto a USB and run from there.  I used a USB for a while without any issues and you can avoid wearing out the drive by loading / running from ram.

Look into my signature, if gigabit speed is enough. I am very satisfied with my system.

Yes I think I am going to have to go down the road of building one. Going to review the older Xeon procs and mboards.
