HSIPC Jasper Lake Celeron mini PC (Intel N5105, 16G, 4x i226 NIC)
-
This Mini-PC is fanless and is comparable in size to a 1L Lenovo, Dell or HP Mini-PC. It comes with an Intel N5105@2GHz, 4 cores / 4 threads, 10W TDP, 2 SO-DIMM slots and above all 4 Intel 2.5G i226 NICs. My model has a 16GB RAM module and - according to the manufacturer's website - can be expanded to 2x 32G, for a total of 64G.
It idles around 14W with XCP-ng 8.3-beta installed, goes up to 20W during a VM copy or moderate load (3 VM runing fio). Under full load, the power consumption is around 25 to 30W and the CPU temperature reaches a maximum of 70 °C. It will replace my HP T620 plus pfSense firewall at some point, since I would like to run ntopng as an additional package.
I am still debating with myself whether to run pfSense virtualized and use this mini PC as a XCP-ng DMZ host. What do you think about running pfSense virtualized or as bare metal?

@gskger You're here. You know the answer. Put in some more memory and a 2TB NVMe and run XCP! See what you can do with it. Dedicate an outside and inside interface and have a DMZ for guest net and more.
I have a system like this (a little faster i7 CPU, 64G, 2x2TB NVMe, 2T SATA) and I run lots of stuff on it including: BT server, asterisk, DNS server, NTP server, XO, Win10, test VMs, ZM for cameras, and more. I turned off a whole bunch of old hardware.
