This is a fully functional computer (so it doesn't need to be a firewall) but its design is pretty much perfect for firewall applications. This is a SMART PE260 which looks pretty much like a car amp. It's built for schools where its going to be abused so it can take physical punishment. Onboard its running the following specs:
Low power Intel T2500 @ 2.00 GHz
Dual 100 Mbps network interfaces
onboard VGA
6 USB ports
2GB RAM
Power brick included
It has an available PCI slot for a more powerful video card (if you want to use it as a web/email machine) or for additional network interfaces. It has a laptop sized HDD slot as well. Works 100%, I've migrated to a couple of rackmounted servers for firewall duties so this one is just collecting dust. This definitely isn't a powerhouse gaming system, but it'll haul the mail for basic stuff.
