Cons: BIOS. As other people have mentioned there is not much to it I would at least like to have control of the boot order. Overall Review: For the price this thing is perfect. I configured the gateway and firewall with relative ease. I didn't realize, but there are also antivirus packages to play with for pfsense I may implement those as well. Not a gaming system, but that would be silly.
Quiet but not silent. Video output using stock Linux drivers works fine. Or even with a slim mm mounted on the faceplate. No reset button. No front audio ports.
Wall mountable, but no brackets included. No GPU expansion. Wall-mounted with an exposed Typhoon or similar fan, this might make an awesome and attractive i3 build.
It would also make an awesome router with pfsense or Smoothwall. The computer, the BIOS, and the cardboard box that it comes in are all unbranded and are ready to accept your specific company branding. The cardboard box that it comes in also has a nice plastic handle that makes it look smart when carrying.
Cons: Although the CPU supports 64bit, and technically the motherboard does as well, the drivers are a significant issue. We couldn't even see enough to install a 64bit version of Linux due to some odd issue that caused output to get lost on the screen. Using 32bit versions get rid of most of the issues, however there were some smaller graphical issues we experienced which, although might have been fixed with compiling a different video driver into the kernel, wasn't enough for us to deal with.
Pros: Good little pfSense 2. Cons: The FAN is terrible! I know others have complained also, and its justified. Most loud fans generate noise from moving air, this one seems to make noise from shotty bearings or something. Overall Review: Cant use the pci-e slot Kickstarted CentOS 6. Nice to have dual GigE. That's a bonus. So it's really a 4c system. That is definitely handy when doing HTTP content filtering. Cons: Taking away 1 egg although I really shouldn't for over-all flexibility just because the PCI-e x1 slot is almost useless unless you keep the lid on the case off because i don't even think a low-pro PCI-E x1 card would fit in there.
It would have been a bit more useful to just have a mini-pci-e slot instead. Pros: No problems overall. Loaded Ubuntu Linux. Kicked up with no issues. Simple appliance usage.
This is an Atom processor so expect moderate performance. Overall Review: I'd buy with confidence. I'd get more of these little guys but they keep running out of stock. Have 10 so far with no issues, anticipate buying more. Pros: Installed pfsense 2. Is running good so far. The interface is relatively fast, and internet download speed is up to 56 Mbps my Lynksys e was only getting 30 with my Comcast cable modem Motorola sb As a result, your viewing experience will be diminished, and you have been placed in read-only mode.

I just built one for a small business and it came up to dollars and I don't want to spend that much for myself. Im currently debating going super small with this;. I love playing with new hardware so I wouldn't mind going a bit more advanced to play with things. Just not sure is the jump in power consumption worth the trade off. All I really need the router for at home is VPN but like I said i wouldn't mind having the extra horsepower to play with things.
But from reading around the power bill per year is going to be about dollars. I have a PE, 4 PE's, and numerous other servers with people connected at any given time, and a PE would be overkill for me.
