Tanks a lot. With usual ambient sounds and under normal load it is inaudible. When it’s rellay quiet in the room and I copy files, I can hear the disks clicking, but thats ok for me as I sleep in another room.
I live in Germany, indeed. FRITZ!Box ist quiet popular here. Basicly I could choose to get a really crappy router or this box from my ISP. What made me add the pfSense box was the lack of VLANs in the Fritz.
Looks nice. My biggest worry with installations in living quarters would be dust and lint. I realise this isn't always an option, but when I moved my installation to a dedicated server room in the basement, the amount of dust in the cases reduced considerably, and what little was left was very fine. A yearly vacuuming is completely sufficient to keep it under control. The amount of lint reduced to zero.
One of my previous main workstations literally died when its CPU fan seized because of dust accumulation.
