Having said that.. have you looked at 'purpose built appliances' e.g.
http://www.lannerinc.com/ http://us.axiomtek.com/
If you are looking for a full router.... Consider such as these... http://www.linktechs.net/ http://www.maxxwave.com/
I bought two Maxxwaves with the Core2 Duo processor and it's an Axiomtek NA-822 inside. It's a nifty platform, I'm probably going to put BIRD on it and make some BGP RRs one of these fine days. I'm too OCD to suffer a "server" in the routing/switching bays as the only thing with ports on the back. I wouldn't imagine trying to route 10 gig with it though, or sharing any functions (like VOIP) on it. ~Seth
