The order of the new firewall that will replace my current Netgate 4200 may be the reason I actually clean up my homelab infrastructure and move my stack to #FreeBSD and #OpenBSD...

Specs of the new firewall are as follows

* 1U Server
* 15" Depth
* E3-1230v2 3.7Ghz
* 16GB RAM
* 1TB HDD
* SuperMicro X9SCL(+)/X9SCM

@blake I wonder how loud those fans will be.

1U's are a joy. Might want to do a test drive before committing

@hello I have a Sun (RIP) X4100 that is about 3dB quieter than a jet engine. It’s a shame, as it’d probably make a decent home server. Maybe someday I’ll try to quiet it down and use it.

Yes. Jet engine is a good analogy.

@hello Absolutely. It beats what I am currently having to do which is a shelf that is taking up 2U worth of space because of the size of my current firewall.
