old firewall new....

[cole0622]

I have this old firewall and I'm thinking I'm going to repurpose it because, I don't need a firewall it has 4 gbe ports, 320gb hdd, 4gb ram, 4gb cf card, an Intel quad core 64bit processor, 2usb ports, a mini pcie, and a serial interface. Any recommendations as what I can make it into? I have thought about a NAS, but I'm not sure.

What do you need? I don't know what you need on your network.

I don't recall an exact model this isn't a full sized rack-mountable device. A vpn was the original intention and I think supports openvpn but where I live the latency is already really high
