Hi List,
I am looking for 1U firewall hardware, any ideas? Something like that (http://www.applianceshop.eu/index.php/firewalls/opnsense/opnsense-pfsense-gh...) but at least with 5GBit nics and more memory.

Supermicro has an Atom D525 with dual onboard Intel Gigabit NICs and PCI-E expansion slot. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPE-HF-D525.cfm
You have your option of front or back IO case. Links are to the cases with high efficiency power supply. http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/1U/503/SC503-200.cfm http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/1U/502/SC502-200.cfm
Just add memory, SSD, and 4 port Intel Gigabit NIC. I'm not sure the performance of the Atom handling full 5 Gbps of traffic.
If you have some money to spend Vyatta has a nice appliance with 6 Gigabit interfaces.
