This is my quad core pfsense router this proberly more powerful then most if not all commercial routers on the market. It has an Intel Q8400 quad core cpu clocked at 2.33 Ghz, a Realtek Ethernet port with an Intel PRO 1000 gigabit ethernet card, and another card going to be added soon, a 750 watt PSU, which is total overkill for this build, a pointless dvd/cd reader and burner, a 230 GB HHD that is 5 years old and finally a Norco 10 HDD bay 4U case, yes this is pretty overkill for a router but it's the only system I had laying around that is not broken or being used. 

Note: This system used to be run my server, but because nobody used it, I decided to turn it into a router.

That is way too much power being drawn from the wall for something that needs to be on 24/7.

Much power, very wow. It's cool, but its going to drive your power bill through the bloody roof.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
