About a year ago i replaced my Soekris net5501 with the following system: Supermicro A1SAi-2550F (4 core Atom with 4 NICS + IPMI) Supermicro SC505-203B (1U case where the back of the mob comes out the front) Kingston KVR16LSE11/4 (4GB SO-DIMM)
I also used a SATA-DOM because I was going for low power, but a USB flash drive would work and be a lot cheaper. Under normal usage, it pulls about 15 watts. I have been running pfSense on it with no problems. I also have the 8-core version of this board (2750) in my NAS which is running FreeNAS. I’m pretty sure that at some point while testing these boards, I ran OpenBSD on them without any issues. Those last families of Atoms are a bit underrated in my book.
