@DonaldScottIV They are pretty cheap on eBay. You can get the generation before the ones you see in his video for about $100. The 1950/2950's are anywhere from 150 to a couple of grand depending on the RAM QTY, CPU specs, and hard drives. A generation III PE 2950 is a nice box to have.

I'd recommend upgrading the firewall. That looks like a Netgear FVS318, they are slow and crap out at about 5 Mbps of throughput. Virtualize that 1950 or 2950 and run pfSense as a VM. It will route/firewall at gig speed's I bet.

I also have a PowerEdge server, although it was a 2003 model with windows it is now running CentOS and is a great server

Yikes.  How much did those Poweredge's cost? They're quite expensive.
