New Mini PC Hardware
rpsmith:
Ordered the following from Amazon:
2016 new products barebone Mini PC J1900 Quad core CPU, 4 LAN (Intel), VGA
One year warranty
http://www.qotom.net/goods-129-QOTOM-Q190G4+4+LAN+Mini+PC.html
seller: Qotom $159 (+ $30 DHL shipping from China)
120GB Kingston mSATA SSD $49.50
8GB Crucial RAM (single) Notebook Memory $25.99
So for around $265 you get a killer 4 port OPNsense firewall!
Had zero problems installing OPNsense. Hardware looks very solid.
My new goto hardware for new customers!

Noticed them recently, look nice, esp. with Intel NICs and not Realtek. Could you see the manufacturer of the motherboard? There are a bunch of simular ITX-boards flowing around aliexpress eg.

I believe I read a thread somewhere where that question was asked and the reply was it's a proprietary motherboard.
It has been running flawlessly now for several weeks. Long term, only time will tell.

I bought one about a month ago for a small test and it runs fine. It could, using around 20-25% CPU time, route traffic at gigabit speed between two interfaces (Measured using NTttcp and two laptops each connected to the J1900 machine).
A shame that the original manufacturer is unknown - hence no BIOS updates, driver updates (if one would use it for something else than Opnsense).
Did you manage to get a wifi card working with it? I bougt multiple cheap old pci express wifi cards, but didnt managed to get opnsense to detect any of them.

I'm waiting for this mini pc too, anyone know the max throughtput?
I'm buying it for testing purpose but If it goes OK I will deploy this firewall arround all the campings and hotels.
The main purpose is web filtering and intrusion detection, i do all the other stuff (radius, captive portal, etc) with miktorik core routers.
