I'm using hp microserver gen8 with E3-1260L and 16G ram. pfSense is virtualized under ESXI 6.5 and works great  :)

• Jetway NF9HG-2930 (actual today)

• Supermicro D-1508, 1518 or 1528 as a bare bone!
  For the near future

Cheap and works well for my home use.

Netgate sg-8860

Official hardware

Expensive, but nice as hell.

Also, foss all the way down to the bios.

All Netgate models. 2220, 2440, 4860. All work great. No issues.

I haven't tried the 1000. I probably won't because its ARM. I'd rather stay on one architecture.

[W4RH34D]

I use a few things - on a budget otherwise I'd just get the netgate stuff.

I ebayed a 6core xeon dell that is for when theres issues and i can lazily throw cpu at it until i figure it out.

For serious stuff I like the AM1 - though no one makes a motherboard with more pci-e slots in case i need to expand.
Luckily they are cheap and use minimal power.

There's a lot of info here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=113308.msg638972#msg638972

Been using it for about 6 months… so far so good for the money... pushed over 3250mbps through it and it wasn't breaking a sweat. 
So far it's been good for the money.

[pfBasic]

i5-2400
PRO/1000 dual NIC
8GB RAM
4x8GB SanDisk Cruzer Blades in raidz2 +1 as automatic hot spare
Consumes ~34W, stupid overkill for my uses.

Bought it on eBay for $130 to get into pfSense.

Eventually will switch to a supermicro, low-end xeon or i3 board with integrated 10GbE & SAS to run multiple platforms to include pfSense in ESXi.

Jetway JNC9C-550-LF Atom N550 (added active cooling to increase livespan)
2GB RAM
2GB SATADOM

PFsense is only used at home with SNORT and OpenVPN for max 2 users. No real power is needed. Runs stable as a rock.

Current setup

Supermicro X7SBE-O
Core2Duo  E8400
4GB Samsung DDR2 non ECC
Extremely old and used up 250GB Seagate SATA drive

Soon to be replaced with:

APU2C4
16GB mSATA SSD

Should provide a considerable power savings as well as silent running. MY crappy WISP (only option) is 6Mb down 1.4Mb up so no worries about needing to upgrade hardware for quite some time.
