Shuttle ds61
-
I was also looking at the DS61 but found the E drivers most of the time aren't working but after seeing your post I decided to order it :)
What pfsense version are you using on the ds61? -
What pfsense version are you using on the ds61?
I was running esxi and played with several pfsense guests, but now I'm running 2.0.2 non-nano amd64. It seems silly to have LAG and vlans config on the switch, storage and vswitch config in esxi then of all the pfsense config. We are competing with a $75 home router anyway, so how much config fun does one want? :-)
anyway, I have enough stuff on it now to not feel guilty.

In March Shuttle will start shipping DS61 v1.1 with two more USB 2.0 ports on the front.Also a new BIOS is available that during S3 sleep mode, the power consumption is dropped from 10W(old
DS61) to 5W(new DS61-v1.1) to fulfill the new EU requirement. -
I did read about that yes :) Does it run on the same hardware aside from that?
I tried running the 2.1 beta but I think it's far too buggy to run in production as I would get an IP but had no internet, and the 2.0.2 version doesn't work at all because pfsense need at least 1 working interface.I'm now running an esx version on it as it supported all hardware automatically ( which is a miracle on itself seeing vmware does not support much consumer hardware :) )
And I'm now running pfsense inside esx for about 3 days without any problems.

Does it run on the same hardware aside from that?
The bios file is exactly the same:
sum DS61D000-1.203/DOS/DS61D000.203 DS61D000.203/DOS/DS61D000.203
63712 4096 DS61D000-1.203/DOS/DS61D000.203
63712 4096 DS61D000.203/DOS/DS61D000.203so my guess is the MB is exactly the same.

a P2P load next to a cpu graph on a ds61 running 2.0.2 non-nano amd64
-
another P2P test, this time showing lots of connections
and continue to have a good experience with two RealTek 8111E -
Looks like Provantage has some ds61 v1.1 in-stock.

So this is just a bare bones system? How much am I looking (ball park) once I buy components for home user? give price range from low end components to higher end?
-
Just below $300.
Besides the DS61 you need CPU, RAM, (mSATA-) SSD.

Looks like Newegg has some ds61 v1.1 in-stock.

A DS61 blends into the average low voltage wall.
-
It really ties the room together, does it not? :D
-
Are those mouse traps near the precariously dangling Dell power adapter?
The natural wood background is very nice.
-
To catch unwary power supply thieves! ;)

Interesting "average low voltage.. mouse trapped" wall there ;)
A bit off-topic, could you throw some "low voltage" light (pun intended..lol) on the top black box which has a company logo of ZON and the green boards hooked to a grey box on the top left.
