This is an Intel N100 fanless mini-PC with 6x i-226V 2.5 Gbe Ethernet ports.
These have an improved heavy aluminum duty thermal cooling chassis.
To ensure quality, I had these boxes shipped with no SSD or RAM, so I procured and installed new quality components from reputable manufacturers.
Each box is taken apart and re-assembled to ensure there are no loose parts.
I remove the generic thermal paste and apply Arctic MX-4 paste to improve thermals.
I also manually configure each device. This is to ensure that it powers on, detects components, OS is successfully installed and there is a working USB and HDMI port for manual configuration.
This device is perfect for use as a PFSense or OpnSense firewall.
While I do not sell or support the OS, Installation of PFsense or OpnSense is included with your firewall purchase at no additional cost.
This model comes with PFSense 2.7 by default.
If you would like OpnSense installed, please let me know when ordering.

Fanless Mini PCs operate at much better efficiency with airflow over the cooling fins. Even a cheap low power USB powered fan can make a big difference.
I have some good quiet 120mm ball-bearing standalone fans with adjustable USB power switch available on my store basically at cost. These will improve efficiency by reducing thermal throttle and improve longevity of the components.
This model DOES NOT come with built-in Wi-Fi. You can add Wi-Fi if you would like but will need to add all hardware. Most people will use a standalone AP with this device. I can give recommendations upon request.
Returns: Returns only accepted for Damaged, DOA or Not as described items. Please contact me if you have any issues at all.
If there are any issues within the first year, please contact me. You are welcome to ship the device to me for troubleshooting at no cost. If needed, any hardware will be replaced at cost and returned to you.
