You can buy the 'blessed' hardware alone (e.g. CentOS) from netgate for $300 (2-port) and $350 (4-port). Cheaper than if you buy a preconfigured pfSense appliance with support. Seems like REALLY inexpensive insurance to be using vetted hardware that others are also using. In general, I consider cheap networking gear to be a false economy.

I'm being serious but what is your rationale for not using pfSense's/NetGate's?

The "cheap" part (< $299)?  We tried a "build our own" approach and it's tough 
to get a small package.  Any old PC will do just fine if one adds an SSD but as someone pointed out 
that may use far more power in the long run.
