Goal : Build a pfsense based computer that can handle a 1GB symmetrical fiber connection, as well create 3 10Gbe Fiber connections for several servers, and my primary desktop. I do a fair amount of video editing and I am adding storage to my FreeNAS server all the time. Being able to write directly to the server at 10Gb speed would be very nice. I also have windows server that I would like to connect into the mix for sending/receiving traffic from the server via the Pfsense box.
So... this is what I am building with;
Super Micro X8DTE server motherboard -- Purchased -- 55 Bucks on Ebay
2x Intel L5520 Xeon processors -- Purchased w/ board
6x4GB Samsung DDR3 1333 ECC ram -- 16 Bucks on Ebay
WD Vrap 150GB for the log backup -- From Stock
1TB SSHD( know there shit but it's what I have) for squid -- From Stock
6x Mellanox X2 Cross 10Gbe single port fiber NICs running PCIe 8x -- 96 Bucks on Ebay
3 TwinAx cross connect cables -- 36 Bucks on Ebay
Seasonic PSU -- haven't decided on the model yet needs dual 8 pin server board support though.
Also, haven't decided on the case.
