It might, Lesley, if the switch doesn't have a good home. Now that I see 
where the ethernet comes in to the Liberated Lens office if we can get 
both the LL1 & LL2 working we can use one for the LL office and I can 
run another ethernet cable out to the hallway and we could use the 
24-port switch to transition the 8-9 GCEA machines to use a wired 
connection. I've got a bunch of 10'-14' CAT 6 cables. The USB dongles on 
the GCEA machines are not the best quality. On the other paw, GCEA may 
wish to reclaim their boxen, I haven't heard anything about that in the 
last month or 3. I emailed Almaz after the BAPS-GCEA dust-up, but didn't 
get a response.

Rob, I'll find a case for the 9 watt motherboard that can host a few 
3.5" drives, if desired. I'll try and find a relatively efficient 
(Bronze +) power supply for it.

It has a Realtek® 8111F, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller and a 1 x PCIe 2.0 
x16 (x4 mode) slot for the second card. I'll bring it in before I flee 
to the hills for a few weeks Monday.
