Seek hardware firewall for home user

Can someone advise me. What are some recommended models of hardware firewall? Here are some details.

I'm in the UK and am running WinXP Pro/SP2 on a home-office PC. The PC connects directly to a cable modem (Virgin Media) and then to the Internet. I don't share my connection with anyone else. Printer and scanner are attached direct to the PC via USB.

I use a software firewall by Sygate and am told that I am much better protected by a hardware firewall.

I may (30% to 40% chance) attach a second PC later. later on I might (about 15% to 20% chance) attach visiting laptops via wireless.

Am reasonably technical but not very familiar with data comms and security. I wouldn't want to learn a lot about this just to run the hardware firewall so something fairly straighforward to set up, to use, and to update is good.

What sort of hardware firewall should I get?

What recommended models? I'm on quite a tight budget and anything over £100 is definitely out! Ideally I would spend a lot less than that.

On the otherhand I don't want something so cheap that which has too few controls and features and can't configured later on if it gets necessary .
