      Team, i am planning to build a PFsense based on a Mini ITX motherboard. I have been thinking to use this one:

      http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4600#ov

      My setup requires 200Mbps of Internet bandwidth and around 10-20 internal users with some services published on internet like a web portal and some SIP trunks terminated in an Asterisk PBX in my network.

      I am planing to buy a i5 processor with 4 to 8Gb of RAM.

      As of features, i am planing to use:

      • NAT
      • DHCP Server
      • URL Filtering (maybe content filtering)
      • VPN Server
      • Dynamic DNS client

      Do you think this HW will perform well?

      Saludos

        That board will support those services and bandwidth but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
        The Atheros NIC is not supported by pfSense 2.1.3. The wifi is not supported either. See:
