The problem is the machine i have sitting around is either a PPC mac mini (Useless for this unless someone can find a PPC firewall distro + comapatable USB NIC's)

OR a Dual Althon MP 1600+ in a 4U case, which won't fit in the space I want to put it, could recase the board but the thing is a tad power hungry and not that stable either.
