Best EVER Fanless Mini PCs for Virtualization and Firewalls?
The biggest processor innovation in a decade for these fanless firewalls and virtualization nodes brings a massive performance boost. We take a look at the newest fanless firewall and virtualization hosts from CWWK and Topton and see why this might be the OPNsense, pfSense, and Proxmox VE node of choice for quiet #homelab setups in the future.

If you are trying to save money with the barebones, this is probably what I would outfit the system with:
- Amazon (Affiliate) G.Skill 16GB DDR5: https://amzn.to/45QicSX
