      Hello folks, This is my first post because due to these excellent forums and the pfsense wall in general I havent had any problems at all. I've been running it for a few months and its working fine. I just wanted to post my pfsense box I rebuilt this weekend. I know its a little overboard but I had fun doing it.

          World's first water cooled firewall for home?

          Slick dude. :)

            Always fun to over-engineer, but I can't help but think you've introduced more things to fail in a box that should be the most reliable device on your home network.

            The good news is, even if your water cooling system fails, the CPU probably still won't overheat with the 1-3% CPU load you're likely seeing  ;)

            Admittedly, I over-engineered as well, and probably introduced failure points mod'ing my NIC card, but damn, blinking lights are cool  8)

              dude,

              That custom 2u case is sweet!!!  You should do a write up so others can copy the idea.
