Low Cost: Linksys Router with Firewall option. More Reliability slightly higher cost: I'd actually suggest the Speedstream that we've been talking about (or a similar model) as it already has packet filtering in it by default. It costs more but it's a fully configurable business class router/firewall. Good for most services without a problem. More Cost and Even Bigger Beef: A Cisco PIX firewall. It's basically a specialized PC but it has almost no moving parts - I think there's a fan in the power supply but that's it - and it works damn well. It all depends on the size of the network in question and what type of incoming connection you're using.
