[TriLUG] OT: Looking for better home router

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

I use this Intel D2500CCE board with pfSense:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MS9OI2

I like it because it has dual Intel Gigabit NICs.  I'm sure Broadcom and
Realtek chips are fine, but Intel's seem to be very well supported and have
low overhead under BSD (pfSense) and Linux.

I also like the Intel Z-U130 USB-header SLC flash drives
<http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XZ-U130.TRS0&_nkw=Z-U130&_sacat=0>
that
screw into these boards.  Hard to be $2/each on eBay.
