1U build
-
Quite good actually. When it is going full speed it is a little on the loud side but this application will basically never see that sort of thing so I am quite happy. My phone says about 50db where I sit but that is for the whole rack so its not bad at all. When I get a few spare minutes I'll measure the power usage and post it here.

I should probably clarify that last statement. 50DB is for an entire 12U rack that I sit pretty much on top of with 4 computers running. Building a new desk and organizing the office is the next project on the list.

I don't understand what you mean?

Hilarious. I'm only used to seeing such things on forums with a political bent.

Unfortunately spam bots like every kind of forum out there. The amount of spammers we block is absurd, sometimes upwards of 1000 a day. A handful get through. Reported and deleted that one formerly in this thread.

Not to derail my own thread, but what are your thoughts on ECC ram for a pfsense build?
-
Luckily, pfSense is just transferring data, so any corruption of memory would be transient and possibly picked up at the receiving end. But, at the same time, you'd rather not have that anyway, plus it could quite likely make your router pretty darn flaky.
Un-detected single bit errors aren't all that common, though, so it'll all depend on your needs. If this is a very important installation, then, sure. But, I certainly wouldn't spring for it on a converted desktop if it cost a lot extra (of course, assuming the motherboard supports it.)
Most "server" level equipment probably already has ECC RAM, which, if you're doing an "important" installation, you may already be using.

I have heard that single bit flips are more common than.. ugh.. commonly thought.
