Barebones PC W/SFP+ and redundant PSU?

[oguruma]

I'm looking to build another pfSense box and I'd like to find a passively-cooled/heatsink style case that has SFP+ ports and and redundant PSUs.

Other than the official Netgate hardware, does such a thing exist?

Hard to find something with redundant PSU and passively-cooled. It's usually one or the other. If you wanna step up to the micro-chassis or the 1U rackmount chassis that are actively cooled, you can find plenty of options.

Thanks for the input. It's not that passively-cooled is a requirement, it's really more a matter of wanting to keep this as quiet as possible, noiseless being ideal.

Typically 1U chassis use very loud fans.

That's not the part that got to me; it was the redundant PSU that's the most rare to find.
