New Around Here
Hi. I'm planning to upgrade my computer in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking for ideas for my spare box. I thought of building a proxy server but I'm open to suggestions. This is more of a pet project and I'm not doing this to address any current security issues. I already have a nas of sorts so I'm specifically looking at security. Thanks in advance.

My setup:
buncha winpc's, a Dlink Dir-825 router and a WG 1tb hdd hooked up to the USB shareport on the router. That's kinda vague so let me know if you want more info.
 
Ideas:
firewall
IP6 firewall - see hurricane electric for info
snort inline bridging firewall
torrent box- use web UI for remote access
domain controller - LDAP
web server
dd-wrt x86
radius server with PEAP
Linux router

I could go on and on.
