        pFsense doesn't have an approved list of third party hardware, they sell their own, but it's widely known pFsense will install on generic PC wo much prob.  So prob yes.

          It will work quite well actually. I'd skip that PCI NIC and get a PCIe NIC instead. You should be able to run GB with that so why hobble it with a PCI NIC?

            Are you dedicating your TS140 to pfSense, or are you going to virtualize? Just asking because I have a TS140 with the i3-4130. If you plan on running something like ESXi so you can use your TS140 as a server and a router, you might want to upgrade the processor to a Xeon - the 4130 only has a total of 4 threads available. For my uses that just isn't enough oomph, so I upgraded to a E3-1275V3.

            Just something to consider if you will be doing more with your TS140 besides just routing packets.
