title: 'Gratuitous Hardware Imagery: New Firewall and Fille Server'
---

<p>I put together a new firewall and a new file server.  The firewall is an
<a href="http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d3.htm">ALIX 2d3</a> -- a tiny, low-power x86 SBC with onboard 3xLAN.  The
whole thing runs on 7-20V. Also, there's no heat sink ahe disk is
compact flash, which means no moving parts!</p>

<p>The other machine is a new file server.  It's replacing three older
machines and a half-dozen <a href="http://linux-vserver.org/">Vservers</a>.  The hardware isn't as exotic as
the ALIX, but I do have some pictures:</p>
