I found a ebay 1u server would this work with pfsense?

Alrighty I found this listing on ebay and wanted to know if this hardware will work for this whole project? Also what other components do you recommend? My ISP uses DSL and used a bridge connection to make one connection. pictures down below with link.

You do know howLOUD those things are don't you :)
-
Well what server would you recommend? It needs to be under 150$ that includes shipping.

I wouldn't recommend a server for home use.

I have a 42u server rack and 2 dell r710 and a 42 port switch. I want it to be rackable ;D

Ah ok, I spent many a hour working in racks with those in, they are quite loud and have rotating rust drives :)
-
so if not that server. which one would you recommend? I am on a budget. :'(
-
I'd check it meets the requirements :-

I didn't say not that server :)

For $35 plus s&h I'd say why not?
It is loud, it consumes quite a lot of energy, but it's cheap. -

-
If you have 2 x Dell R710 in the same rack I'd say its not an issue.
-
I'm sure that will run fine. It will just be loud and hungry like others have said.
What bandwidth do you need? What packages are wanting to run? VPNs?

If you want to get another Dell, I'd suggest an R210II. You should be able to find one within your budget.

I have 1GB down and 100mb upload. I am going to be using nordvpn since, I already paid for 2 years worth.
Also if I got another dell r710 2.5 could that work?
-
If you want fast VPN you need a better single thread performance and AES-NI. Any recent CPU can do a better job while being whisper silent.

If i got this one. What else would I need? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Poweredge-R210-II-Server-Xeon-E3-1220-3-1ghz-Quad-Core-4GB-RAM-500-GB-HDD/323114533145?hash=item4b3b208119:g:cPEAAOSw~fJamwbo

Doesn't say how many NICs it has. I presume at least two broadcoms.
So you would need nothing else to run pfSense.

Not a fan of HP boxes… they always have some kind of unnecessary, time-wasting proprietary add-ons. But if u got the time, hey.

Alright well in the pictures, I posted that my ISP uses a two connections to make one DSL connection. What kind of NIC will I need to use for this? Also does PFSense even support this?
-
You will need an ISP device to terminate both ADSL lines and hand off a bridged ethernet connection. Any pfSense WAN will do that.
If the ISP does Multi-Link PPP you might be able to get that working with two pfSense WAN ethernets.
You'll have to be more specific as to exactly what your ISP is doing.
As I said, that link does not indicate how many ethernet interfaces those units have.
