Update Via Nano for more packages, but with what?
-
That's a Mobile CPU… as I stated earlier...tough to find desktop CPUs
He asked for Y series processors or other BGAs. Those are mobile/low power.
-
That´s exactly the kind of MB I was looking for, but the price was a little scary at more than $700 as we want a few of them. Fully populated they will end up being more expensive than most other computers around here.
-
Ahh is that the Y series? Hmm.. too bad those don't run cheap.

Maybe, maybe not. At that price they come with a fast, low power CPU, quad Gig-E Intel NICs, IPMI, and the ability to use ECC memory. It's a pretty solid package for the money.
-
Quad gigabit yes.. but only 3 are useful. The 4th is used for IPMI

Nope, there's 5 ports on the back.

Intel 82579LM GbE LAN; 4 totalYou're both partially wrong. That board has 4 gigabit and no IPMI.

The board above has 4 gigabit AND IPMI. There are a whole bunch of boards with slightly different characteristics. This board I just linked uses 4*82574L's as well as a RTL8201F for IPMI.
There are also boards with only 2 NICs, quad cores, etc. Pretty large selection.They're pricey because they're an extremely niche product. Extremely high performance/watt at low power consumption on mini-itx with ECC and (possibly) IPMI.

I really like the concept of the 17W X9SPV-M4-3UE with AES-NI and 4 usable Gb NICs, but it´s still pricy. This should be able to be fitted in a really small enclosure with a Pico-PSU, mSata SSD drive and ECC-memory. I couldn´t really figure out if ECC memory was needed or an option?
I would also be intersted if anybody has tried to use a Intel mini-itx MB DQ77KB + i5-3470T + mSATA SSD + Intel PT/ET PCI-E dual or quad NIC and if there´s any suitable slim/small case that you could cram the NIC into without getting to large? Is there such a thing as a raiser card and case to keep it small/low? The cost would be a almost half of the Supermicro as the NIC cards are cheap second hand.
-
Supermicro only guarantees that the board will work with ECC memory (on it's validated list) so I'm 98% sure that it's required. (if a board supports ecc and non-ecc, supermicro usually validates at least 1 of each, and at the different voltages supported [1.35,1.5, etc.])
Casetronic C292 is an mitx case which supports an expansion card. Logic Supply has them: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/c292
Pretty sure it's the smallest reasonable volume that supports an expansion card. -
ayah: Have you used this case yourself? As the DQ77KB only has got a PCI-E x4 slot and so does most NICs, is there such a raiser card that would work with that case? Casetronic only list a x16 card and you´ll get an extra Pico-PSU that won´t be needed for the spare bin.
Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated!
-
You could technically use some sort of flexible riser, but I'd personally just use the x16 riser and cut out the motherboard's x4 slot to accomodate the card.
I did buy one to see if it'd be a decent extremely low noise cooling setup, but it didn't so I just went with an matx setup.
You're welcome, always happy to have pfsense users.

Just found yet another option that would be a little cheaper than the supermicro MB.
Jetway NF9G-QM77 Socket G2 2 Intel Gb NICs + i5-3320M + Jetway 4 Intel Gb NICs ADE4INLANG - That would give 6 Gb Intel Nics in a minimal chassi.There´s a guy selling them pre-built on ebay for $649 with the Realtek 4 port Nic, so $669 with the Intel daughter board.
Anyone seen it in real life and what power consumption could be expected from that CPU without using the GPU?
-
You still it to add a hdd to that ebay config. A bit too on the expensive side in my opinion.
-
I just ordered the Jetway MB + Intel 4xGb daughter board and will give it a go in a M350 case that I got here. It may be a little overkill, but I got all parts needed in the bin except the parts ordered + a Core i5-3320M.
Hacom sells almost the same setup as Jupiter IV OpenBrick-M for $2000 and says it should do 400Mbps IPSEC AES256 and 3Gbps firewall throughput. So it´s a lot of bang for the buck.
