Subj : Hardware Firewall Option?

Amazon has dual 1gb nic N95 PCs for $97.  I'm using one as a hardware
firewall.  They come with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, both of which
are un-upgradable.  It seems pretty ideal for OPNSense, though it does have
Realtech NICs, not INTEL.  I was told they were Intel when I asked support,
but they aren't.  If that's not an issue for you (I just have 150Mbps
connection), this might be ideal.  It does appear to need a firmware update,
also which support refused to help with.  I get an ACPI error every 45
seconds or so in the console, but it doesn't seem to affect anything as far
as I can tell.
