I would look at the following and plan for 4GB RAM and a 64GB SSD.įanless Desktop Computer Mini PC Intel Quad Core N3150 2 LAN 2 HDMI B5 (Barebone No RAM,No Storage) This limits your Intel based low-end processors in the Celeron spec to 3k series and above (check Intel Ark specs to verify). I would plan for AES-NI support hardware supported encryption will be introduced in version 2.4 and enforced in version 2.5. The better quality NIC you can find the better (I prefer Intel based units.Īgreed here, the problem with the 1K and 2K Celeron series CPUs often don't have AES-NI support.

The average Celeron or AMD CPU, small SSD, and 4GB Of RAM will do perfectly.

You don't need much processor, disk space, or RAM to run PFSense.

I would be looking at a multi-NIC fanless mini pc.
