x86-based, barebone router

I need kind of a programmable router running on Linux or FreeBSD based on an x-86 arch-type box that should comsume the minimal amount of power (like a basic router) ... ~ Ideally I shouldn't even need a fan. Just the most minimal hardware to run networking, a firewall, rated DHCP (some internal ports get more bandwidth than other), port redirection ... ~ The thing is that most routers come programmed with their software or firmware and are hard to tinker with ~ How do you think I could/should go for it? ~ Do you know of people doing these kinds of things? ~ lbrtchx
