      Hey guys!! I'm building a new PFSense box and just wanted to post the choices I was going with and see if anyone had any recommendations or saw anything they knew might cause some troubles!!

      Currently I have PFSense running on a really old box and the CPU usage & memory gets maxed out all the time. So I want to buy one really good box to be able to run this for a long time and through quite a bit of growth.

      THanks!!
