Well....I managed to get mine v cheap (ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100) off eBay. Normally they are around $375 I think. I got mine as I wanted to get to grips with Cisco IOS and CLI stuff whilst using it at home. It is very good but setting it up isn't as easy as a cheaper hardware firewall like Linksys. The CRWS is OK but does not block everything so you need to know a little bit about setting up ACLs etc. As with all Cisco kit the build quality is great and the support is faultless. You pay for what you get. If you're just after a good firewall and don't want to play around with Cisco kit go for another (cheaper) model.
