Hi Odhiambo! I have done quite a few pfSense 2.x installations on those two machines.
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-kit-dccp847dye.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-kit-dc3217by.html All you have to add is RAM and a small mSATA SSD, change the BIOS to IDE, pfSense does not work with AHCI apparently. Now, those devices does only have 1 Gigabit Port, so I combine them with a VLAN switch, they are very cheap. I usually use the D-Link DGS-1100 Series and configure one port as an uplink to the NUC, and the rest in a combination of WAN, LAN and OPT ports. This obviously does not work very well if you have servers on one VLAN and Clients on another, AND do heavy bulk transfers of large files between the two VLANS, but for everything else, it works like a charm. The Celeron 847 is normally fast enough for most setups, and the Core i3 version give you a lot of power for the price and wattage. Better yet, you can pick all hardware up almost everywhere.
