        Thanks for your feedback kroko, it helps me to figure out what I need ! :)

        I think I will go for the i3-7300 CPU because it's 4GHz @ base frequency and I don't really care about TDP, electricity is cheap in France. But I hesitate to go with the ASUS P10S-I
        mobo and it's dual lan or go with a cheaper mini-itx mobo and PCIe HP NC364T. I'de prefer to get 4 ethernet ports to be future proof but I don't know if it's possible to fit the PCIe HP NC364T  inside SilverStone SST-ML05B. It seems like the bracket of the PCIe card won't be in correct position, am I right ?

          Ok I've seen a video where the SilverStone SST-ML05B would be just fine with a PCIe card. But a M300 mini-box would require a PCIe riser card.

            Hi

            Ive ordered Asrock H270M-ITX/ac few days ago along with G4560T and 8gb stick of 2400 cl15 ram and should have it soon. From what i know next month my isp is finally going fiber around here with 900/100 top offer (probably ETTH so i think will be able to connect cable directly to pfsense router and just use mac from isp device).

            Is it any differ which port will be WAN and which LAN on this motherboard?. LAN port will be connected to small TP-Link TL-SG105E (managed) switch and from there to two home pc's and two AP's in different parts of my home (nothing fancy here).

            Thanks!

              i think that mother board has two intel NICs?

              If so, then it doesn't matter.

              If not then WAN should be intel and LAN should be whatever is left over.
              Unless you route a lot of inter-LAN traffic, then probably switch them.

                @patrick0525:

                I beg to differ.

                I stand corrected.
