If you're game for building one, the boards at http://mini-itx.com/ are worth a look. There are (well, last time I bought one) many with two or more NICs mostly with low power fanless CPUs.

But I'm struggling to find the ideal, and cheap box that'll be my gateway. I'm ideally looking for something small (booksize), fanless (atom?), and with 2x NIC's built in rather than wifi+nic or USB-NIC hanging off. Optical devices not required as will install Linux via USB. Something along the lines of an Aopen DE2700 for example. Is there something you have experience with and recommend please? My usage will be to learn about firewalls, IPS/IDS, logging, general networking and such.
