Planning to build my first pfSense router, looking for a mini ITX motherboard to suit a 4th gen or 6th/7th gen i5 CPU (I already have RAM and a 4 port Gigabit interface, and probably a CPU)

Located in Palmerston North, ideally somewhere local but happy to pay for shipping if need be.

Depends on how much you want to spend.

 

I have a asrock mother board with a core i5 6500 in it.

As nice as that is, it's a bit overboard for what I need. Thanks though!

I've got a Gigabyte H97N-WIFI mini ITX with a 4th gen i3 CPU on it and 8GB DDR3 RAM.

 

https://www.gigabyte.com/nz/Motherboard/GA-H97N-WIFI-rev-10#ov

 

The board has dual GB LAN ports so perfect for pfsense. :)

 

I too would like to sell it all together as a working setup.

 

$250 plus shipping from Oamaru.

Once again thanks for the offer, but I have actually just this minute managed to find a 2nd gen board to go with a CPU and RAM I have lying around!
