Going with one of the pre-built Mikrotik x86 routers (like the PowerRouter, or one of the others, whose names escape me at the moment...) is the best way to go for BGP on Mikrotik at this point, in my opinion. You could just use any generic x86 box, but then there's always the chance you'll run into some weird driver issue or whatever. With the pre-built boxes, you at least know you're getting hardware that's been reasonably well tested.
