I would like to build a physical Olive machine in ATX case. Starting from NIC's, those ones should work fine:
* Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 and Pro/100B (82558 / 82558B chipset)
* Intel EtherExpress Pro/100+ Management Adapter (82559 chipset)
* Intel Pro/1000MT Desktop Gigabit Adapter
* Intel Pro/1000MT Dual Port Server Adapter (FW82546EB chipset)
* Intel ICH3 Onboard Controller (82801CAM)
* Compaq NC3120 (82258 chipset)
* Compaq NC3121 (82558B chipset)
* Compaq NC3134 (82559 chipset - 1496 MTU when using Dot1q)
* Matrox QS-NIC Quad FE NIC (8255x chipset)
* Radisys Quad Ethernet' FE NIC (82559ER chipset - 1496 MTU when using Dot1q)
I have ordered four
Intel Pro/100+ 82558B NIC's from eBay. Then I have a Chieftec BH-01B-B-B case and 400W ATX 2.2 PSU(ATX connector is 20+4) and two 80GB PATA Seagate HDD's + PATA optical device. What else do I need in order to run newest JunOS? Obviously a motherboard with at least 4 PCI slots, but what socket? And which CPU would be fine? A P4/Athlon? Would 2*512MB SDRAM be fine? Is it good to have an integrated serial port on the motherboard?
