I did bought it barebone because I don't trust Chinese Ram/SSD, and threw it my own Crucial/Sandisk. I have a 2-months old minisys-4 (hardware version 3, I found out) and am fairly contend with it, install hardly PITA. You can buy these minisys-like boxes from ProtectLI who's a reseller in Amazon, based in the U.S., you do pay a premium but reduces your shipping time and most importantly real english, real tech local support, the feedbacks in Amazon confirm, and because it's shipped by amazon, well, nobody does zero-pain return like Amazon, at least in the U.S. Would it be better for me to build something like the above mentioned, get something from the pfsense store, or is there a good piece of hardware out there that I can buy that would be better geared toward a router that I can repurpose instead of a really old dell desktop? You guys have helped me through some good configuration setups as well with it.

I believe that it is probably a bit overkill, but I'm curious on opinions. I'm not sure that the prices are still accurate. This is the build that I created a couple years back. I currently have vpn enabled on my pfsense build, but have not added modules/apps to pfsense. I run an unraid server on the network that is transcoding often, downloading, running vms, several thin clients around connected to the vms, etc… I have a separate wireless router, so I don't need wireless functionality and I also have an external switch as well for all the additional network cables I'll be running. There are several video streams that could be going on simultaneously. It is for home use, but I do run a small business and will be running network cables throughout the house with 20-30 cables total.
I'm just curious if it will really make a difference if I build my own little pfsense box or buy one.
