I know.. it's a relatively crappy Dell box. And yet, it's a p3/1ghz machine (these cpu's cost over $1k usd when they came out), with a 3com onboard nic. It's quiet and small. It's going to be my new router... :D

And then.. my new room, living with some friends, is my real new toy. Here's the latest computer setup:

What Linux distribution is it you are using? its a shame imho to use a Dell for that since as far as i know Dell sells them only with Windows, so you probabely have a licence for Windows on that machine. (but i agree with you Linux is more suitable in this case)

uhmm.. it's OpenBSD.. as can be seen in the photo :)
Yes, the dell probably had a Windows license attached to it, but I've never seen that. I just had the box given to me for use as a router a little while ago.

Wasn't this the "New Toys thread", not the "your desk" or "your computer" one?
