I'll second this. I tested last week on an 860 just prior to ordering two more. Everything came up nice and clean. While I can't speak to what it will do under load, it does at least install and not fall over on minimal traffic.

I've successfully installed pfsense 1.2b1 with CARP on Dell PE860's. The trick was to setup the machines from scratch and not use an older config. These machines have been running wonderfully for the last few months now. Hope this helps someone, especially that its Dell and its the cheapest model you can get.
