Trying to Build a machine for 100Mbit/sec VPN

[hagak]

Requirements:
~100Mbit/sec VPN performance
Small enclosure (read low heat)
Prefer IPMI 2.0 interface
Lowest power usage while meeting above requirements, so I do not expect sub 20W idle however would like to get under 50W idle

I currently am looking at this setup:
Motherboard: SuperMicro MDB-X9SCM-F-O
CPU: Intel G630T (35W)
Memory: 2x4GB ECC unbuffered (motherboard requires ECC) - Yes 8GB is probably overkill but it is so cheap, I guess less memory would reduce my power requirements some.
Drive: OCZ Onyx Series 32GB SSD - Rated at 1W Active and 375mW idle
Case: SuperMicro CSE-510-200B

Also are there any issues with the onboard NICs with FreeBSD still?  I noticed searching here that there was some concern but those posts are pretty old now.
