I am not so sure that I would go for something with an Atom processor installed if it is going to be on 24/7 then I would rather if price has to be low, look at building a machine with a p4 dual core, they are really cheap and don't mind being on 24/7 after all Atom has half the processing speed as a pentium m processor.

Any comments on CentOS 5 on Intel Atom CPUs?
I need to build a couple of inexpensive systems that will be used primarily as gateway/firewall systems with OpenVPN, and need recommendations in reliable hardware platforms. These will need two NICs.
