    Hi,

    I would suggest you do a search of the XG forums, there are plenty of similar requests.

    A quick summary though, quad core very fast CPU, (not I5 or I7), 6gb ram and a minimum of 2 NICs

    Hi Roman,

    There is no need for the maths core of the I series processors, just overhead heat, a very fast celeron 3ghz or greater is more than adequate for home use.

    Does that make sense.

    As you can see from my signature I use an E3, because it was cheaper, lower power and was able to get a small motherboard (server without all the PC overhead chips).

    AES-IN will be a great idea regarding to if you using DPI. Isnt it ?  I know that is overkill but from my perspective its better to have more instead of less ^^

    At im using IPS SslInspection AV webfilterring etc.

    Hi Roman,

    that would be nice, but the current home version does not use AES-NI. There is a thread about it but no-one from Sophos has added any value. My e3 has AES-NI.
