I'm only familiar with their higher end stuff. I didn't know they even had a lowend appliance. What do they call them?

Nokia and Pix are similarly priced at the low end.

Yeah, a Nokia running Checkpoint is really expensive, and probably way out of budget for what the OP is looking for if I had to hazard a guess. I think Pix and Checkpoint and others all have their places. For a small business looking for an Internet firewall, I think a mid-end pix fits the bill pretty well.

I don't like Pix's, hate how they are managed and I think the interface is bad.
I prefer Netscreen and Nokia (or a server running Checkpoint, but the Nokias are better for most instances). For a small company ISA Server might be an option as well, it is a lot better in the latest version than it was in the past. I still like little appliances like the Nokia though.

This sort of application is something that a little Pix works well for -
something like a 515E.
I've also seen a bunch of those Sonicwalls and Fireboxes as well in this
market.
Thanks,

For small networks with 250 nodes or less, what/how are you all
protecting your servers? Windows firewall, 3rd part vendor, or just
standard Windows security?

The IP40 is their low end box, but the IP130 would fit many small/medium businesses as well.
Also, I just took a look at Checkponts website and aparently they have a new version called Checkpoint Express that is focused on small businesses. This may be another option (checkpoint on a server), but I don't know what the price is.
