Posted January 20, 2017 So I ended up with an extra quad core pentium/celeron from my UnRaid nas build... I figured I'll take a shot at trying out PfSense... right now I have 2 Node 304s, but a node 304 seems too large for a router. Do you guys have any recommendation on small thin cases with a PCI-E slot + recommendation on a power supply (pico?) It is a 10w cpu, 2 sticks of ram, and 1 ssd. The NIC has both the full height and half height bracket. Silverstone FT-05: 8 Broadwell Xeon (6900k soon), Asus X99 A, Asus GTX 1070, 1tb Samsung 850 pro, NH-D15 Resist!

Posted January 20, 2017 why do you need a pci-e slot? i have being looking at running PfSense on an intel nuc there very small if you dont know of them much smaller then a node 304s you should need much power less then 100 watts if your open to getting another case you can get some very small cases that have small power supply or external power supply My Gaming Rig My Server Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/725755-case-for-pfsense-power-supply-recommendation/#findComment-9232338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a dual intel nic.... and since node 304s are "large" I am asking for for case recommendations and small psu (external) recommendations... I wouldn't be asking for recommendations if I wasn't open to another case... just need some direction on which cases and psus Silverstone FT-05: 8 Broadwell Xeon (6900k soon), Asus X99 A, Asus GTX 1070, 1tb Samsung 850 pro, NH-D15 Resist!
