        Overkill.
        Not CO2 friendly.

        Will it be part of the interior decoration ?

        Not for making any publicity, but this SG-1100 will do the job just fine.

        Btw : you forgot an important part : the UPS.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Do you need to use the full 100Mbps over OpenVPN?

          What CPU do plan to use?

          That does seem over powered though. The SG-1100 or SG-3100 would likely be fine there.
