Small/Low Power Server Recommendation?

I've been running an Alix 2d13 (an earlier board) with pfSense as my
router/firewall for years now. Absolutely no problems, very little power
consumption, I only have to think about it when there's a software upgrade.
I can recommend their kit.

Nah, don't do it. I adore the Alix 2D13 board for lots of stuff.... but as a
pfsense box it's days are gone. Everywhere around here... the default
residential speed is 60 to 100mbps, and the Alix 2d13 can't keep up with
that. Your connection (if you're in those ranges) will noticeably slow down.
Instead, get the replacement that netgate has: identical enclosure, but
based on the T40E board. That one can handle 100+mbps.
