Is there another hardware appliance similar to the Netgate SG-3100 for running pfSense that others are using? For what you get in the SG-3100, the price ($350) just seems too high IMO. Looking to deploy a bunch of these to branch office locations.
Netgate SG-3100 alternative?

Do they sell full units with RAM, storage, & chassis or just the board only? Rather not build these units myself and would like at least a minimum warranty on parts.
EDIT: Nvmd, I now see you can pick each part.
I recently buy a Quotom Q350G4 (Chinese unit), the price was good, and it perform better than the PCENGINE APU in two domains :
Inter-VLAN routing : I wasn't able to route at 1 Gb/s on an APU. The i5-4200U in this box is able to do it.
In france, some ISP use "PPPoE" protocol for FTTH, this protocol is not hardware accelerated on hardware like APU or this quotom, and the process is not multi-threaded, so the Quotom also perform better with it CPU (APU stuck at 380 Mb/s, I5 at 500Mb/s, the max of the FTTH line).
