Any old box is plenty fast to serve as a firewall/router/dhcpd/bind server.
I use an old laptop with new hard disk for some 24*7 tasks. Saves on energy costs. I have the bottom open, set on top of a tray with fan, one of those sold for cooling laptops, connected to an usb port. Only that I connect the fan to a power converter from the mains, not from an USB socket. The lappy has no battery at all, so it is connected to the same UPS as the router. But I don't serve dnsmasq to my network because I don't have it absolutely always running. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
