The decision has been made to use pfSense as my firewall/router but the dilemma is whether I should build a box or buy one from Netgate. Why would I want to buy a Netgate appliance when I could build one with identical specs for less? I'm going to make a heavy assumption that Netgate is sourcing its boards and chassis' from SuperMicro and slapping their name on it. I have no problem with that. I just want to have a discussion on the pros and cons before I settle.
