My motherboard died in my PFSense router I had put together a couple years ago so I dropped by the local computer shop in town and picked up a refurbished HP DeskPro slim workstation for $160 and dropped my Intel NIC (I350-T4) in it and rebuilt it, and it's working great.
The spec's (highlighted in green) are overkill for what I need but I'm happy it's back up and running. Still tweaking some of the settings and the virus it says it found on the summary screen below is me testing the ClamAv to ensure it's working.
It's running Squid Proxy with ClamAV to scan all non HTTPS content and to cache the internet for all users in the house. Really happy with how it works both on the previous setup and this one. Upgrading to an SSD in this box made a huge difference on its performance over a mechanical drive for anyone out there reading this. I'm using a Samsung EVO 850
