Cool I did think about getting a small form factor PC to run OPNsense, but a verry nice man of the Gargoyle forums posted me the WRT1900 AC v2 which has a 1.6 ghz duel core CPU and i don't host any thing. For what i use it for it does just fine. One of the things that keeps me with Gargoyle is it works grate with a screen reader which i have to use as i am blind. I can use ddwrt and openwrtI just like the lay out of Gargoyle better.

Another benefit to fanless PC is that being able to install custom software is a given.

Back in my old custom firmware days, I always had to be careful about router revision numbers to make sure I was getting a model that I could re-flash. Sometimes, the hackable revisions were in short-supply.

Perhaps that is less of a problem these days?

Yeah it can still be a pane with some routers. TP-Link are constantly making very small upgrades to routers and making a v1 v2 pissing people off lol The werst thing is wen they make a v1 and then a v2 with a completely different chip set.
