This CRAZY SMALL 2.5GbE Node will Change Everything

This 4x 2.5GbE box is so small. We ran VMware, Proxmox VE, Windows, Ubuntu, OPNsense, and pfSense on this box to see how it performed. We tear it apart and get inside to see how it works. This might be the next awesome #homelab and traveling demo node.
