That DEC840, by the time it lands here in Australia is over AUD$2100 (EUR999, plus Euro VAT, plus Australian GST). While I'm sure it's a really nice unit, it's just too expensive for my home use. The Lenovo P330 Tiny (I7-8700T, 16GB RAM, 256GB m.2 SSD) I can get for AUD$750, and a X710-DA4 for AUD$300 - so roughly half the price, and it'll give me more SFP+ ports. I'll give that having dedicated hardware like that is probably going to be more reliable. I've got a Netgate two-port unit that's been going great for years who's only problem is that it's onboard eMMC storage started going wonky. But hey, if it doesn't work out as an OpnSense router, well I'll just stick an nVidia Quadro in it and make it the Plex server instead.
