I use the Soekris 6501 fairly extensively. It's available in a much smaller than 1U case, or 1U if you prefer: http://soekris.com/net6501.htm However, Supermicro makes some systems that are probably just as good, with two instead of four NICs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101365 Once you add RAM to the Supermicro, the two are very similar in cost.
