                          This is a custom skeleton build running pfsense 2.1 RC1 (amd 64). This re-purposed computer started its life as an e-machine. The frame has been cut down significantly and re-riveted (was a micro atx case) to exact fit a mini itx motherboard. The case is now the width of the WRT54G router perched on top. Frame was smoothed and painted rattle can red. Build uses a standard ATX power supply from a dell dimension series taken apart and sprayed with flat black paint for contrast. I didnt want the pfsense 16g flash drive hanging out the back near my network cables so i made a custom mount inside the case partly salvaged from a hp pavillion. The power switch is also located on top of this mount taken from another dell. The meat and potatoes of this build is a brand new dual core intel celeron processor @ 1.1 ghz and 2 gb of G.Skill DDR3 1333 ram. The motherboard (gigabyte GA-C847N-D) has dual RJ-45's and I also installed a pci gigabit NIC for my optional interface running on a different subnet. Not doing anything real heavy duty with it yet, mainly pfblocker, VPN and bandwidth throttling my freeloading neighbors :)

                            OK, I`ll share mine :)

                            pfSense box:

                            Mini rack:


                            Whole system, switches, server (5 HDD`s!!) and pfsense box uses around 110W, great what they did with power management :)

                              That needed a bigger bandwidth warning.  ;)

                                  Here's mine…

                                  Rack arrived today, so it's a work in progress…
                                  Still need to finish up the wiring, and mounting the PDU's
                                  Short a few rails and some of the stuff that's in there now will be removed and replaced before spring.

                                  2x HP R5500XR UPS
                                  2x HP Proliant DL580 G4 - Quad Intel 7140M ( 3.40GHz Xenon Duo Core ), 64GB DDR2 2x 72.6GB 10K SAS ( RAID 0 )
                                  1x HP Proliant ML370 G5 - Dual Intel X5450 ( 3.00GHz Quad Core Xenon ), 32 GB DDR2 ECC, 4x 36.6GB 15K SAS for OS + External Storage ( See MSA20 )
                                  1x HP Proliant DL360 G4 - Dual 3.6GHz Intel Xenon's, 8GB DDR, 2x 72.6 GB 10K SCSI ( Soon to be replaced for DL380 G5 )
                                  2X HP MSA20 - 5x 2TB + 4x 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 Drives ( Soon the be replaced by HP MDS600 )

                                  Other equipment:
                                  HP AF600A KVM
                                  Woven LB4 ( AKA TRX100 )
                                  IBM Top Spin 120 ( AKA Cisco SFS7000 )
                                  Older DLink Switch ( some older switch for the ILO and Management Network )

                                  PS:
                                  DL380 G5 will be the new firewall...
                                  Single 2.2GHz xenon, 8Gb DDR2, 2x 36GB 10K SAS + Mellanox card + Myricom 10GBE

                                  In the end there will be lots of CX4 cabling in the rack as there will be the Dual Link Infiniband net and the 10 GBE loop between the Firewall - LB4 - NAS

                                  If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

                                    As of today I have bought some more hardware that's inbound…

                                    If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P
