Title: Build Your Own Firewall
Post by: Bloody Jack Kidd on January 21, 2011, 02:41:36 PM
Got one of these on order - going to convert my 60lb. old PowerEdge 2350 PFSense firewall into a tiny appliance.

don't want a hard drive - using CF.  Zero moving parts.  Plus ALIX gives me 3 NICs and I'm suspecting less then 10watts of power consumption during normal use.  I ordered the board / an enclosure / power adapter... I think I'll only need to provide a CF card once I get the parts in.
