Recomended home build

Hi everyone,

Im new to this forum and after browsing the forum for a few days, i would like to the experts there opinion for a newly home build.

My internet connection is 100 down and 15 up. My home lan is at 1GBIT with maximum 20 devices. (laptops, pc, tablets, phones, NAS and some vlans).

im looking for a small power build who doesn't consumes to much energy, and can take all this workload. Also im planing to run all the features available on the UTM.

Can someone provide the right hardware for this build ? preferable a cheap one.

For my understanding the minimum cpu is an i3 and 8GB ram.

Regards
RS

ASRock Z170M-ITX/AC WiFi Skylake Mini ITX Motherboard - Scan.co.uk

I've been looking at this system to run an i3, the onboard ports are 1 Intel and 1 Realtek which is weird but good. But is a little pricey at £110.

Unfortunately onboard wi-fi on anything other than Sophos SG series appliances are not support for software installations. I've been trying many ways to get my Zotac Zbox CI321 wi-fi module to work to no avail. Plus this board has a full size PCI-E so you can install more NICs if needed.

I think next time the missus isn't looking at the bank i may have to sneak the funds out and have a play around with it.

This has dual Gigabit Intels which is a nice alternative.

Sadly both are DDR4 and will be expensive.

Thanks for the input.

but this motherboard seems a bit expensive... also i prefer ddr3 has i have a few spares that i can probably use.

Any other motherboard and case i can use for this setup ?

The i3 i can get it quite cheap on ebay, but the mobo is my problem at the moment
