<p dir="auto">So I'm very fussy on how my hardware looks. I'm a true server geek, and need to see pretty flashing lights and cables!</p>
<p dir="auto">I got a Watchguard Firebox X700, which is PERFECT on how it looks for me! What more could I ask for? Front ethernet ports, flashing lights, LCD screen, and its RED! :D</p>
<p dir="auto">However, it's barely useable with pfsense due to the watchdog timeouts :( I am so gutted!</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyways, can someone reccomend any hardware, or at least a rackmount case which has:<br />
-Front ethernet ports</p>
<ul>
<li>Rack mountable - 1U or 2U</li>
<li>Lots of ethernet ports (6 would be nice)</li>
<li>Maybe a nice colour, but this isn't really important</li>
<li>An LCD screen, or at least a place to stick one (Maybe just a 5.5" CDROM drive slot?)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Even if someone could suggest a case which would fit my fussy needs, I could fill in the guts</p>
<p dir="auto">As a side question, can someone suggest a motherboard which would be able to handle 2 X Dual GigE cards?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks</p>
