        Finally finished my pfSense router/firewall box:

        • Intel Pentium Gold G6400 4GHz CPU
        • Asus B460 motherboard
        • 2x8GB Corsair DDR4
        • Corsair 550W PSU
        • Samsung EVO 970 250GB nvme SSD
        • 3 x Intel CT gigabit desktop adapters
        • 1 x 3com 905C PCI network adapter

        It has WAN,LAN,DMZ and WLAN networks

        3com card services WLAN p2p link it being only 100mbps card it is perfect for the job :)

        Onboard intel ethernet as of current pfSense release is not supported it will serve future expansion needs.

        Half the components are somewhat overkill for the job however it is there incase i want to repurpose it at some point.

        With powersave options enabled in bios and in software it uses 15 watts of power according to APC UPS power meter, which is better than what i imagined it would be.

        This router/firewall project started because my OpenWRT router only managed to handle 40mbps so now i should be futureproof when i upgrade to gigabit internet.

                Network

                • APC Back UPS ES500
                • Cable Modem | 100 / 30
                • Supermicro X10SBA (J1900) w/ 8GB RAM, 30 GB SSD (pfSense)
                • TP-Link SG1016DE smart switch
                • TP-Link Archer C7v2 WAP
                • Cisco SPA112 ATA (not visible)
                • Lutron Caséta
                • Downstairs in the condo locker
                  • APC XS1500 UPS
                  • TP-Link SG105E smart switch
                  • Dell T610
                • 30m away in the garage
                  • another ArcherC7v2

                The chassis is an Akasa Euler meant specifically for Supermicro A1SAi/A1SRi. I was naive to think the block heatsink would fit the X10SBA. It does not. It was bought to build an HTPC.

                I hoped to find a compatible mobo at a decent price but those two models are vere expensive. The box is open since the SOC relies on its OEM heatsink instead of the massive block of the Euler.
