Having said that.. have you looked at 'purpose built appliances'  e.g.

If you are looking for a full router....
Consider such as these...

I bought two Maxxwaves with the Core2 Duo processor and it's an Axiomtek NA-822 inside. It's a nifty platform, I'm probably going to put BIRD on it and make some BGP RRs one of these fine days. I'm too OCD to suffer a "server" in the routing/switching bays as the only thing with ports on the back.

I wouldn't imagine trying to route 10 gig with it though, or sharing any functions (like VOIP) on it.
