Any thoughts on how this box will work with pfSense?

Looks nice, but it could be ending up in a BIOS incompatibility, often seen at Gigabyte Hardware, but if not, an nice box as said.

Did this work out for pfsense?

I haven't seen it for sale yet… would make a good candidate for a virtual environment, too.

You can buy these now, see them on Amazon. Anyone had any experience with one of them yet?

£508.99 far too much money. You can build a good i5 / buy i7 Chinese box for much less for far less.

True, it is a lot, but I have yet to find a decent small fanless equivalent other than a shuttle ds77u. At least that has intel nic and aes passmark score over 1k.

Thanks to advice from this forum you can build an i5 for cheaper.

The part that's causing me the issue though with building one is the motherboard, all ones I have found that would be perfect for the job would need a bios update for kabylake, and I don't have a skylake chip to do a bios update with.
Emailed some manufacturers asking if the boards in question will post with a kabylake for an update but no response yet. (I know I could just get a standard board, but if i'm building my own I want ipmi and at least 2 intel nics, ie Jetway NF592-Q170. No kabylake compatible boards that don't need a bios update that fit that afaik)
