That looks exactly like the box I grabbed. Are you running your opnsense on the bare metal, or are you virtualizing it? My only regret for mine was not picking up more ram.

I’m running on bare metal. I have a physical homelab behind. Can’t you add ram?

I could, if it wasn’t so damn expensive for 32gb

I can’t imagine why you need 32gb for opnsense. I can run it on a single core and 1gb, unless I literally want every DNS blacklist loaded in which case 4gb

I’m running a proxmox instance on mine, with opnsense in a vm and plex, Jellyfin pihole and my omada controller on lxc. 16gb is just enough for everything, but I like to future proof and buffer things, so it makes me a bit nervous utilizing 12 of that 16 gb and only leaving 4gb for proxmox.
I’ve had pretty good fortune with www.memorystock.com

In some places you can still get 32GB DDR4 for a kidney if you‘re lucky.
