Alix2D2 or similar. http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d2.htm
they sell for about $80, add a flash card or small HD to hold your router software, they have little minicases to mount them, http://www.pcengines.ch/case1c1blku.htm http://www.yawarra.com.au/en-alix.php
these run pfSense very nicely, which is a very nice turnkey router distribution.
Yes, ALIX+pfSense is highly recommended. If ALIX is too slow (it should do between 50 and 70 MBit/s), consider Atom D510 platform servers. They should run on ~50 Watt and easily saturate 100-200Mbit. ALIX takes 5-10 Watt.
