It depends on your specific requirements, but there are some quite good
Linux and BSD firewall products. You can buy/make a CD and just install it
on a spare PC. A little bit of configuration and it's ready to go. I
haven't used any of these myself, but friends of mine have - some at home;
some for business use - and speak very highly of them.

Smoothwall seems to be the preferred one, for near-plug and play simplicity.
