My laundry room:
pfSense Firebox XTM 520
gigabit managed switch
ISP gigabit modem
big ups (server) & small ups (network)
mac server
*invisible due to embedding in the floor - 2 x ubiquity ap-lr-ac - the best wifi I've had
& fabric softner, detergent, furnace, etc :)

Nice. :)
No lcdproc?

Steve, can you make this a sticky so it can be found even without new posts?

Seems like I can. :)

For those with official pfSense hardware, please post a few pics here as well https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=126630.0

Running pfSense in a VM with my Dell PowerEdge R610
CPU: x5560 (only 4 threads given)
RAM: 4GB of DDR3 ECC
HDD: 6GB (Even with Squid, Snort, and a few other packages installed it uses 19% of 6GB)I'd eventually like to take my pfSense out of a VM and put it into a dedicated machine. It runs my server & home network, the amount of speed & control I've gotten out of this is immense compared to my ISP MoCA.

So it's been a while since I was last in here posting my setup.
This was my previous one.
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=57028.msg304531#msg304531Well I wish I had a fancy setup. Here is a a pic of my pfSense box.
SUPERMICRO SYS-5015A-EHF-D525 1U Intel Atom D525 Dual Gigabit LAN w/ IPMI Server
4 gig ram
Intel EXPI9402PT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
two 250gig WD black 2.5 inch drives mirrored
1500AV UPS (not shown) for 1.5 hours of backup time.
And for the heck of it a Crystalfontz display. :-D
Have gigabit wireless access point as well hooked up. (not shown)Don't make fun of my makeshift fan bracket (zip ties in vent). lol The system is "passively cooled" and I didn't like the 65°C so i put a case fan in and now its 40°C. Not exactly where i would want it but much better.
It, unfortunately, died a few weeks ago… The onboard SATA controller died and hard drives couldn't be accessed.
Here is my new one..
Supermicro Server (SYS-5017P-TLN4F)
Core i7-3612QM
8GB ECC ram
Dual WD Black 250GB 32MB Cache 7 MM 2.5 Inch - WD2500LPLX in GEOM Mirror
Intel EXPI9402PT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter (taken from prior build so I can have 6 ports) :-)
WIFI is handled by a NETGEAR ProSAFE WAC730 Business 3x3 Dual Band (set up for EAP)
Crystalfontz display taken from prior build. So happy to have that working again in recent builds!Long live pfSense!!! Can't imagine using anything else. #goldmember for life!

This is my little datacentre closet. My pfsense router is in the top left corner. It's a ~2.0GHz HT Pentium 4 Dell machine, with 768MB of RAM. It has a couple of IDE drives, one of which holds a squid cache. I've got a much newer Xeon server to replace it with, but it works perfectly fine, lots of traffic through it and it's been solid for about 8 years.

My pfSense setup and network produkt line is:
HPE Microserver Gen 8 i3-3220 8GB Ram running pfSense 2.3.x
3 Unifi AP 2.4 Ghz
2 Dlink Managed switches -
Fractal Design Node 202
Intel Core i5 7600K
ASRock Z270M-ITX/ac
16GB DDR4
Intel Optane Memory 16GB M.2 (There's a 250G Samsung 960 Evo in the photo, it was way too big, so I reclaimed it)
Intel X550-T2
Running 2.4.0 beta![File Feb 28, 12 04 14.jpg](/public/imported_attachments/1/File Feb 28, 12 04 14.jpg)

Running an ugly little AMD AM1 vmware box, 16G RAM at my home.
Windows 10, Vmware Workstation It has just enough juice to run PFSENSE 2.3,Domain Controller, fileserver, and my plex server.
Most of the build was from spare parts, the RAID card was the most expensive item.
I recently was running 70+Meg internet on a usb NIC, but upgraded to a cheap Intel pcie. I'm mentioning it because some people had questions about running pfsense on a usb nic, I had no notable problems other than the clunky vmware network configuration. Note I used workstation and not ESXi.

Pfsense can use intel optane?

My hardware setup. Software setup is pending ;)

hello, my setup.
PFSNSE version:2.3.4-RELEASE-p1

4GB of DDR2800
HDD:
Seagate 120GB SATA
NIC:
X3 GB realtek Nics.Packages:

Status_Traffic_Totals
pfblockerngsystem has been running with no issues and doesn't take up to much ram, i used to us Smoothwall and it doesn't compare to PFSENSE

Not Done, but getting there.
Full disclosure this is my first 1u build, is a challenge with cables. I am going to be redoing the cabling later, and also changing the CPU out and changing the ram to 2 sticks.
For now here she is :).
Istarusa case, 1U. Faceplate painted red.
Asus P106i motherboard
Skylake G440 (soon to be replaced with a E3 1240 V6)
8gb DDR4 ECC (Soon to be 16gb and hestsinked)
2 STEC Mach 16 50gb SLC ssds in Z Mirror.
Intel I350 T4 Nic (plus 2 onboard i210 ports)
Seasonic 300w modular Flex ATX power supply (way more wattage then needed, but fan never turns on :p, plus it's a great PSU.)
3x Noctua A4x20 (had to custom drill 3d slot) and 2x Noctua A4X10, made the SSD cooling fan bracket, and there is another fan hot glued to the i350s hestsink.
Zalman 3p52x CPU Cooler. All fans and CPU cooler are set to max, still much quieter than my Cisco 2960s.I think that's about it :). Oh and running 2.4 RC for the ZFS mirror.
