more hardware lying around...

now I finally have a gigabit card, I can sort the firewall out - and it will use the D201GLY2. There's only one fly in the ointment - I need another harddisk. Maybe I can get away with the CF card I've bought for the purpose and I'll try that before anything else, but I'm a bit sceptical.
The previous card that was in there - a SanDisk CF Ultra II - refused to play ball with FreeNAS and I'm not convinced it's the card over the adapter.
At least the box will be nice and small. The server, on the other hand, needs to be enormous. More on that later. Maybe a loud box will encourage someone to let me have funds to get a quiet one? ;)
