Patrick Kennedy from ServeTheHome reviewed the Supermicro A1SRM-LN7F-2758
Let's Jump to his conclusion:
"..Overall, this is going to be the top Rangeley motherboard for network appliances. We have reviewed Intel Atom C2000 based platforms from several vendors now and in terms of being a network appliance, this is nothing short of awesome. In testing we were able to run pfsense both bare metal and in hypervisors, vyatta, linux-based firewalls and etc. The platform ran cool, was stable for the few weeks of testing thus far and is extremely compact. In summary, this product has received one of the highest ratings this site has given out in over five years of product reviews. We review many platforms with easy substitutes, however there is nothing comparable, from a networking perspective, to the Supermicro A1SRM-LN7F-2758..."
