I have the X7SPE-HF-D525, 1U SC503-200B case and SSD for my firewall.
Just keep in mind the 1U case with no fans is like an oven. In a 75F
room the system temp was 132F and the CPU was 163F. This is within
operating limits of the Atom platform. However I'm not sure I would
want a hard drive and telco card in there as well. I ended up putting
a 40mm rated for 7cfm of airflow fan in the case. The temps dropped
dramatically to 120F system and 131F.
