I'm looking to put together a pfsense build to replace my router. I'd like to stick with as small of a form factor as I can (ITX/miniITX?). Case/RAM/CPU I can figure out myself but I'm looking for some suggestions of motherboards that would work well with pfsense and be as cheap as reasonably possible (used is absolutely welcome). I'd of course need dual NIC's and it to be ITX/miniITX but beyond that, the world is my oyster.
All suggestions welcome, thank you guys in advance!
PS
I'd also consider a 1U server since some of these can be had pretty darn cheap and I like server gear. However, this would need to be a quite unit (the two don't commonly go together, I understand) since it will be in the bedroom. That being said, I don't mind at all replacing stock server fans with Noctua's to lower noise. All told, I want to either go full tiny/sleek/custom build or 1U server (don't ask, I don't even understand me).
