High Speed Firewall/Security Appliance?
#4
Build a PFSense box, using these three parts:

1) Jetway HBJC200F99-525-B Barebone System

2) Western Digital Black WD3200BEKX 320GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive

3) CORSAIR 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM

Then load PFSense onto it:

Here's the hardware sizing guide from their site, with recommendations on CPU, network cards, etc.

It's really simple, and should handle that connection speed. I'm running this setup at home, and at work. At work we've got a 100/20 service from Comcast Business, and it runs just fine. This software isn't hard to learn, I taught myself over the last 8-10 months, just by poking around and reading their user support forums. I came from DD-WRT on some Linksys and ASUS routers, for some background info.
