Everytime I'm in the market for a device like you describe, it comes down to the limitations of consumer devices. You can't get all those things in a low cost solution. I end up rolling my own. My latest system is this http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015A-PHF.cfm
Exactly my stock system. Apparently, there's a version which doesn't need a slot spacer, and has frontally accessible ports: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/server-systeme/1HE-rack-server/1HE-intel-single-cpu/intel-dual-atom-d510-single-cpu-cse513-server.html Aye, that's the rub: no ECC memory. But nice enough IPMI.
, with Endian http://endian.com/en/community/download/ and an additional dual port nic. With all the parts (HD,NIC) it's under $400. It's an atom board, so you could put whatever you wanted on it. I have a 50mbps net connection and it doesn't have any issues.
Works well on GBit/s as well. I haven't measured the throughput yet, though. Should be ~500 MBit/s, assuming a single Atom core is about equivalent to a Pentium 3 at the same frequency.
