I haven’t put this into service yet because I still need to take care of the wifi portion of the network. But it is currently running pfsense.
I am also looking to put a 4 port nic in the case but it is challenging because of the cases size constraints.
I also printed a new lid to support the addition of a small 40mm cooling fan to keep the system cooler. During my initial testing, I found that the case was getting quite warm. The addition of the fan appears to do a nice job of keeping it much cooler. I don’t have actual temp readings for comparison unfortunately.
EDIT: I have officially migrated this system in to service. Working great!
