UTM Build advice

Hi Guys,

After living with a Virgin Media router for the last few years and then getting a Cisco MX64 on trial to play with (on behalf of my employers) I'm now looking to build a Home UTM as I'm not going back to the V/M POS. After looking at all the sizing advice, I'm still no closer as to what motherboard and processor to get. The build is going to be mini-itx based and I'm working on a serious budget (under £100)

I've got my eye on the following...

Intel Corporation BLKDH61DLB3 Classic Desktop Motherboard Socket LGA1155 (£29.99)
Intel Core i3-2100 3.1Ghz CPU SR05C 3MB SOCKET 1155 LGA1155 (£30)

HDD will be 80 - 160GB 2.5"
Dual Port nic will be one of these which has an Intel 82546EB / GB chipset (£13) -

Hi,
your configuration will be fine, though a slightly faster cpu would be better.

As far as the network guy's build, the cpu is too under powered for the current UTM version especially with your high speed link.
