Good router/firewall

Good little pfSense 2.x box. Has been running 24/7 for 6 months or more without issue. Has 6 or 7 networks VLAN'd across the 2 NICs, no issues. Runs a 35mbps IPsec tunnel to another site at about 15% CPU load with no problems. Works good for small site, 15 to 20 users, firewall rules, DHCP, small VMware lab, etc.
Even tried ESXi with an SSD installed when I first got it... Not the fastest machine, but would run 2 or 3 VMs that dont require a lot of CPU without problems.

The FAN is terrible! I know others have complained also, and its justified. Most loud fans generate noise from moving air, this one seems to make noise from shotty bearings or something.
BIOS = meh

Cant use the pci-e slot... not so bad considering the price and size of this machine. If really needed, you could swap to another mini itx case for $40ish.
pfSense 2.0.x must run 32bit due to the lack of video drivers (if you want console via VGA)
pfSense 2.1 is fine with 64bit

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Picky About Booting

Cheap, good for a pfSense box once you get it working

- CPU Fan is loud and no room to put another larger and quiter one since the heatsink is an odd shape.

- The SATA cable was bad and kept leading to errors when pfSense was installing and running (would cause the OS to crash every few days), I had to swap out the cable and use the other SATA port.

- Intel GMA GPU doesn't work well in Linux since it's closed source and the max resolution is 1024x768

- One of the hardware components requires a license to be agreed to in FreeBSD which scrolls by so quickly it took a while to figure out what the issue is, I was only able to figure this out by looking through the boot log since it shows a few line error
