      Found this on AliExpress

      http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/nuc-pc-fanless-with-Intel-Atom-dual-core-D2550-1-86Ghz-4-82583V-Gigabit-Nics-Wake/800900_1844941744.html

      Four port Intel NIC, dual core Atom processor - Looks ugly, but seems powerful enough for pfSense. At $250, it may be a decent deal.

      If anyone has a similar setup, please post your experience here!

        Looks like a good price but its fan-less and it looks like there is not any vents for air circulation

          Too expensive for D2550, the one below is much faster and same price:

            The one he posted has 4GB of memory and a 16GB SSD installed. The one you linked to is a bare bones and requires memory and some form of storage.

              Oh yes I missed that, but I still won't go for D2550 one, if you want gigabit throughput performance, D2550 won't fit the need and it's generating a lot more heat (I owned a board with Intel 1037U with 82583V LAN chip, this LAN chip model is actually generating a bit more heat while running), I wonder if the heat dissipation can be handled well in such a small case.

                zbox ci323 is a better local solution
