Just a post to see about interest relating to a group purchase of a nano itx 4 port mini PC to be utilized for PFSense.
[ATTACH]62232[/ATTACH]
Depending on interest and numbers I will try to get the device for closer to $100 if possible.
Many years ago (well over 10 years ago) did something similar here on Homeseer relating to purchasing some barebones mini PCs.
This deal will only be for Homeseer / Cocoontech forum users and only related to PFSense.
I am seeing the prices for almost the same nano itx computers all over the place.
To increase the numbers may duplicate this post on Cocoontech.
May prewrite the PFSense OS image on the SSD cards in bulk....you will need to configure it and register it on first boot.
Such that the specs would be something like this:
J1900 CPU
RAM: 8Gb
NIC Gb Ports: 4
SSD: 32Gb
A 9 PIN RS-232 serial port is utilized here for the NTP/PPS server.

There are others with an RJ-45 console port. Looks like the footprint is bit larger.
Personally wanting the smallest one possible such that I can fit it inside of my Leviton can.
Currently doing my network here a la carte with an
ISP modem (x2 for failover) ==> Firewall ==> GB managed switch(s) ==> POE AP (2nd floor balcony ceiling)
Tentative list of interested folks.
