> Buy a x86 box and turn it into a router? But it consumes more power than a low-power router, and buying more network adapter is not that cheap.
If you want to go this route, used Intel NICs are cheap. I recently picked up a 4-port gigabit NIC (PCI-E) for £13.99. I'm running on a machine that would be on anyway, so the power usage is negligible.
