Seeing as there isn’t much information about the actual hardware that gets put inside these firewalls, I thought I’d crack one open to show the world. Peeking through the ventilation holes, we see some interesting stuff, such as a SATA cable, ram module, and what looks to be an ICSP header?


However, peeking through vent holes doesn’t really give us any insight into the hardware they’ve chosen, so we have to remove the dozens of screws securing the outer casing, and face our nemesis.. the warranty sticker.


Granted, we didn’t really need to remove the sticker, seeing as the case is flexible enough to open with the screw still in place, but I’m gonna remove it anyways.
