I've got chance of a brand new blackformd based Supermicro super server with 2x E5410's for £120,
1U rackmount.
I know it's a few generations behind, but it's at least core 2 based not netburst, was wondering if it would be worth it for a PfSense/RouterOS box, especially as PCI-X quad NIC's are dirt cheap now.
Not sure what power usage is like though, I could always remove a CPU.
Worth grabbing or should I pass?
