NICs and Hubs?

[neverborn]

What's the cheapest solution to make a Linux ShowEQ box?

I'm looking for 2 NICs and a hub (and anything else if I need it, let me know in your replies)

I want to make sure these NICs and Hubs have been tested and work.

Let me know, with approximate prices, as well.

Use search, these questions have been answered before.

Almost any 3com product is good, as far as hubs go the biggest thing to note is: You dont want a switch and you dont want your interfaces running at different speeds (10 and 100) on most newer hubs because they will function like a switch if that happens.

As far as what im using, a MRXI-24 (ancient 10/24 port hub, i bought at a computer junk warehouse for 15$ - has run nonstop for 5 years now ;P) and 2x3c59x Vortex/Boomerang (one on linux, one on windows).

Pretty much anything that can be recognised by the os is fine.
