      Hi Folks,

      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!

      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

      However, it's barely useable with pfsense due to the watchdog timeouts :( I am so gutted!

      Anyways, can someone reccomend any hardware, or at least a rackmount case which has:
      -Front ethernet ports

      • Rack mountable - 1U or 2U
      • Lots of ethernet ports (6 would be nice)
      • Maybe a nice colour, but this isn't really important
      • An LCD screen, or at least a place to stick one (Maybe just a 5.5" CDROM drive slot?)

      Even if someone could suggest a case which would fit my fussy needs, I could fill in the guts

      As a side question, can someone suggest a motherboard which would be able to handle 2 X Dual GigE cards?

      Thanks

      Jonny
