Everex TC2502 works with Astaro v7?

Anybody know if Astaro will work on this?  It looks like this has the same specs as the Via EN15000 but for about a 1/3 of the price.  Let me know if I am missing something I should be thinking about or you see any reason this board wont work.

Full PC - $200

Motherboard with processor for $60

The only downsides I can see are :
1)  The onboard ethernet may not be supported by Astaro.  But it has 2 PCI slots available to add ethernet cards
2)  It is Micro-ATX and not Mini-ITX.

So I can get the following:
Motherboard and CPU - $60
1 GB RAM - $20
40 GB SATA HD - $30
Micro ATX Case - $40
2 x Network Cards - $25
Total $175

Looking forward to feedback.

Thanks.

FYI, another Everex model works, except for the SATA controller:

Glad to report this board and the onboard NIC both work great with v7.101. So if you get this board youll only need one PCI NIC if you just need two networks for home use like me.

I used the case linked below and it works well with this board.

I have transparent proxy enabled with content filtering, anti-virus and ftp proxy all enabled. I also have IPS enabled with all of the patterns enabled. With several files downloading and my cable modem maxed out at about 6 mbits/sec the CPU maxed at 27%. So far so good. Ill be watching it over the next few days.

Meant to mention. My memory is running at about 440 MB so its probably wise to go for the 1 gig of memory.

Glad to hear it is working for you.

Would you mind posting the list of part numbers that you used?

Thanks
