Post your custom router/firewall setups

[anything I don't mind]

Recently upgraded my home pfsense box and wondering what everyone else uses for a home firewall/router and/or networking set up.

Current pfsense 2.1.4 spec.

Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS5
Core 2 duo 2.66ghz
4gb corsair dominator at 1066
60gb ocz ssd
D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme N wifi card.
Corsair 550w psu
Coolermaster 360 case

It is my old desktop pc, it is a bit ott for a firewall but rather use the old hardware than sell it for next to nothing.

Does anyone have a higher spec firewall?

I've been thinking of maybe trying to down clock the cpu and remove the fan on the hsf. I don't know if anyone has ever done that? The only noise generating part in the pc at the moment is the fan on the hsf. Apart from the psu but that rarely spins much. If i can down clock the cpu to way below its spec maybe i can get away with just having a heat sink, another option would be to downclock and turn the fan speed down to real low. At the moment its still overclocked to 3.2ghz and i am using the i5 intel stock cooler i got with my new cpu as my noctua i used in my previous desktop setup doesn't fit in the coolermaster case and is a bit ott. It currently runs at 60 degrees Celsius.

I only just got the wifi card yesterday to be honest. I bought it from ebay/hong kong for £13 its used. pfsense 2.1.4 seems to detect the card ok and i can setup a wireless access point and i can connect to it. but it then fails to work. I remember reading something about the pci-e support when i was researching which wifi card to buy. I also read that there is no n support for freebsd which i thought was a shame as well. most pfsense guys said that you would be better off using a standalone wap rather than a card but i wanted to manage the wifi from pfsense and have it all in one.

edit: Actually i just got it working, i didn't open udp. Maybe they added support in 2.1.4?

edit2: i had it working then restarted and it came up with no carrier error on the interface. So i have put 2.2 alpha on there and so far its working great.
