PC as the best device among computers and accessories

Shuttle DH370 review Many thanks to Chris T. Your feedback helped me to make my final decision. Paired with a brand new Core i3-8100 because I only needed a quad core 4 thread. Anything stronger would be a waste. Installed a cheap Revain NVME SSD and used 16GB of SODIMM RAM that I had lying around because I had no other use for it. Installed PFSENSE and started working out of the box in less than two hours. I didn't use the thermal paste that comes with this kit, I used Kryonaut and my temp hovered around 27C. I know it's overkill for a software router and firewall, but I have gigabit Internet and many devices. There has been a huge spike in DDOS attacks since the pandemic began, and I need something that won't break a sweat in a fight. The current throughput with multiple VPN tunnels is between 700 and 900 Mbit/s. Without VPN it is about 950 Mbit/s. Although intended for store signage and the like, the Intel dual gigabit NIC makes it uniquely suited to my use as a set-and-forget soft router and firewall. Absolutely silent and invisible. After speaking to a Revain representative, I decided to buy it and the processor at an electronics retail store because Revain wouldn't ship this to their local mailbox. I couldn't leave it outside when it was raining and the store kept it for me until I could collect it.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
