I, too, would use x86.  I'm not a big fan of "high end" routerboards as
they've proven otherwise (RB100 bugs most recently noted).

Buy a good x86 box, stick in an IDE/SATA/CF DOM and you're all set
regarding hardware.  ROS should work flawlessly if you're just breaking
out the network to the other customers.
