Open Compute Server one node PFSense firewall build.
1 WiWynn Open Compute server node running latest PFSense
Cpu's 2x Xeon E5-2603 four core, 1.8 GHz, no Turbo Boost, no Hyperthreading.
8 x 1 Gb Hynix 8500 ecc ram
1 x 80 Gb Samsung hard drive.
8 threads and 8 gigs of ram should be plenty for a home network firewall, well probably overkill.
Well it will be more than enough to run what I will need it for.
Pic, kind of redundant since everyone knows what one of these looks like....
At first it did not want to display video, well these things can be finicky to mess with. I had to reset the bios and try another video card in the top slot only to get a display.
I need to get a Intel 1G pci-e nic to for more options, maybe a pfsense high availability CARP cluster?
Yea kind of overkill.
So im installing now.
And yes I know not the most power efficient setup.
