Anyone know if that 16GB is 2 x 8GB, 4 x 4GB or 8 x 2GB?Same units are for sale for $212/bo with 2x e5-2609 and 16gm ram,

It depends? If you don't need the pcie slot for anything you can run it with one processor and it'll be a fine pfsense box. If you do need the PCIe slot you'll need two CPUs installed and it'll be drastic overkill for pfsense.Will this make a great pfSense box? Currently I have pfSense installed on a WatchGuard XTM 515 and 815 appliance unit.
Yes... I need the PCIE slot. I already have the CPUs and memory already. I need to build 2 units.It depends?

Another thing to keep in mind is the idle power with 2 CPUs and noise. You are easily looking at north of 75w including PCI card.Yes... I need the PCIE slot. I already have the CPUs and memory already. I need to build 2 units.
You can also run multiple VPN tunnels and load balance them, don't forget that.Another thing to keep in mind is the idle power with 2 CPUs and noise. You are easily looking at north of 75w including PCI card.
If you don't need IPMI, T620 Plus is an option if VPN speed meets your needs. Of the top of my head, I think it was ~200mbps.
I need rackmount units.. Additionally, it would be nice if I had 10gbps capability for the future. My current pfSense setup (WatchGuard XTM 515 and 815 units) the processors are not aes-ni compatible. Once again, I have plenty of E5-26xx v2 processors and DDR3 memory laying around needing to be used.Another thing to keep in mind is the idle power with 2 CPUs and noise.

That looks like a PCIe 2.0 riser, FYI.Can someone please confirm this is the correct riser for the motherboard.

What is the correct riser to purchase?That looks like a PCIe 2.0 riser, FYI.
My bad, I must've been looking at the R1U instead of the RR1U.See Riser Card | Support - Super Micro Computer, Inc.

gen2: Yes, depending on MB
gen3: Yes, depending on MB
Just curious. What will you be using the computer for?Any recommendations for memory for these CTO units?
I have my eye on 2x E5-2660v2's, populating to 32GB and adding a Mellanox 10G card.
Hosting vCenter and backup vMotion CPU headroom, when my 2xL5640 server runs out of steam.Just curious. What will you be using the computer for?
