Hardware and Performance / small box with this Atom C3758 board ?

« on: February 19, 2019, 10:29:06 pm »

Hi Forum,

sry for the second thread. Another thought (as i have an RDIMM and a SSD laying around) was to have this board with 2x 10baseT Supermicro A2SDI-H-TF.

Has someone used this to build a small box ? Which chassis and cooling have you used ?
Would be a nice future proof option.

Hardware and Performance / This Mini PC for OPN Sense ?

« on: February 19, 2019, 10:14:31 pm »

Hi Guys,

i think about setting up an OPNsense Box for my home to play with. Since some time i think about which hardware.
Now i found this box, it has 2 intel NICs, a powerfull CPU with AES-NI etc.
Are there better options from price/performance perspective ?
Any concerns about that hardware ?

What im NOT interested in, are small mini PCs from china where you never get bios updates / security fixes from manufacturer.

Here is a german spec sheet, but the hardware part should be readable :-)

Its available for 300 to 350€ incl. tax in germany.

Any thoughts ?
