[NTLUG:Discuss] Bare metal hardware

[Stephen M]

I don't live in Dallas right now but here in AZ we have electronic
recycle shops.  You would be able to purchase something like that
pretty cheaply.  Another place I know some ppl look would be on
craigslist.  Not the high quality but a firewall/switch doesn't really
need to be expensive.
