An Alix fanless low power dual nic system with case and power supply goes for $120ish. Has slots for 2 mini pci wireless cards. Add an antenna and pigtail for another $15 or so, or use a USB wifi card. Anything more expensive is going to be a Soekris.
I would only buy a mini-pci PC board if I had the existing case for it (which I have done recently, for that reason, but for the fan equipped version of this board). Otherwise, all of the RAM and everything else is going to cost extra- which is fine if the firewall is for more than just firewalling, light vpn, and such. Buying the board, ram, and anything extra for the case is going to still cost more than an Alix based system.
