      Hey guys,

      I have this superrrrrrr old system from 2004ish. I was wondering if I should use it or go with more modern system aka a Celeron 1037u.

      Or should I buy a FIREBOX X CORE 550e (found one locally for about $160) and flash it?

      I am using about 500 - 700gb~ of traffic a month. Would this CPU be able to handle it?

      I am also planning to move the system into a 1U case.

      Thanks for your time, and help!

        Even a modern Atom could do better with ~90% less power.

          Thanks!, I went with that 6 port motherboard thingy in the vendors list.
