Good 1U Rack Firewall [closed]

I'm trying to find a good 1U rack firewall at a reasonable price. Most pricing is completely out of space (thousands of dollars? Why?). I don't want to list all features I need/want (there are too many variations but I don't care about most of them) - I'm just looking for something simple and not overly expensive.

I've looked at the WatchGuard XTM 505 which is more reasonably priced -- are there any other firewalls in that range or even less expensive that are good for a small company?

Solution 1:

Have you looked at running pfSense on a Supermicro Atom SuperServer. That will run you less than $400. There is a good book on pfSense and commercial support is also available.

Solution 2:

You can check the Mikrotik Routerboard RB1100 http://routerboard.com/index.php?showProduct=98

It going to cost you USD399.

Very powerful Mikrotik RouterOS, you can check its features in http://wiki.mikrotik.com

Solution 3:

Here is what we just bought:

Found the UTM5 on buy.com for $233. It is replacing a POS Watchguard.

It is for a small shop with 9 servers. Thus far, extremely happy with it. NAT'ing 5 external IPs and lots of rules. I don't think there is anything like for this price.
