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.

Spending way too much time and money on Unraid servers!

Depends on how much you want to spend.

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

$300 excluding shipping. (don't want to seperate cpu and mb)

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.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

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!
