I can vouch for pfsense, I used it for awhile before switching to smoothwall Express (www.*smoothwall*.org/) if you want something with more in that family then there is the corporate version (www.*smoothwall*.org) you can pickup any cheap pc, I am using a basic P4 system with 4 nics one for a separate wireless network. It takes lest that 15 mins to setup and the only really work is putting the network cards in.
