Hardware and Performance / 1u Home Build
« on: June 16, 2017, 04:19:42 pm »
Hello all,
Recently found OPNsense and love the concept.
I'm looking to make my own 1u build, has anyone else give this a try?
This is what I am looking at, advice/suggestions/critique all welcome
(yes this may be over the top, but consider it a bit of fun/hobby)
Chassis: https://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/1U/512/SC512F-441B
Mobo: https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C236_C232/X11SSM-F.cfm
CPU: https://ark.intel.com/products/88179/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4400-3M-Cache-3_30-GHz (Socket: 1151, supports AES)
RAM: 4GB (Mobo is DDR4, so 1 stick of 4GB low profile)
SSD: 850 EVO
As I say, anyone got any suggestions to this build, or advice, it'll be greatly appreciated.
(this isn't to avoid buying a ready built firewall from one of the recommended vendors, I just enjoy building PCs etc. - once I am up and running, I will be making a donation to this project)
Thank you
