Hi.

I have a dead cisco catalyst 2948G from 1999!! Was thinking of stripping the old pcb out and putting an embedded atx/itx board and an ssd/ 2.5" hdd in it to make a linux test box that can run 24/7 without trippling electricity bill.

Is this a good idea and has anybody done anything like it before? BTW it 1.5U of rackspace if that helps?

If you don't need anything very powerful something like a Raspberry Pi or a Zotac ZBOX P series might do the trick.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
