Ok, I just searched for some parts for a pc and would like feedback and to know if any/all of this will work using it as an ASG Gateway. I am including direct links to some parts and this is where I'd buy everything from.

Case: Shuttle SN68sg2 socket barebone. AM2. geforce 7025/nforce630a chipset. Marvell 88e1116 10/100/1000 lan phy. 1 pci and 1 pci-e x16 slots. also has wireless port for optional I guess.

Ram: Crucial 4gb. pc6400. ballistix bl2kit25664aa80a
FRYS.com*|*CRUCIAL

CPU: amd athlon le-1640. 2.7ghz am2. or amdx2 4850e am2. 2.5ghz/core.

hard drive: hitatchi 80gb sata 3.0gb/s. 8mb 7200rpm. deskstar 7k160

nic: i think i have a dlink dfe-530tx already. pci.
nic: dlink dge-530t 32bit gb nic. pci.

anyone???????

It should work.

Only problem I've had is with Intel P45 chipsets. That nVidia one should be fine.
Wireless won't.

Great timing,
I just got home with a used pc. Price is ok, so timing doesn't matter, but of course I'd rather have the above parts.

I got a P4 3.0ghz
1gb ram
onboard nic and video card seperate. cdrom, 40gb hdd. I bought a dual 10/100 intel nic and then a 3com 3c905c and b.
I got free a ps2 mouse and keyboard.
$145 something for everything. Descent big case too.

The store is called Re-PC and they sell used stuff. They had Ubuntu 8.04 running on it when I bought it a couple hrs ago. So I guess I'll try to see if it can get online before I do anything and play with it for a few minutes.

I don't know the model of this dual intel nic, but it's one pci card with 2 nics on it. Only $9.99 so I thought I'd give it a chance. The 3com cards were like $3 each.

I hope this will work.
