Perhaps you'd be interested in the McNettWARE F23 "Machine that goes ping" Edition. It's $5K with no maintenance, no support, but when it blocks a port incursion, it makes a solid, satisfying "Ping" sound. For $1K more, the pings will have pitches directly related to the port number.
For $1000 more, attempted incursions on port 23 will play a couple seconds of Pink Floyd's "Sheep".
