So I have been looking into doing this for awhile now, build an Atom/via based router. More then likely in a mini ITX format to keep power consumption and footprint small. I have been looking at a few options from newegg and have come across a few things that I like. What I want is something that has 2 NIC's and wireless N. I know that most of the atom's out there and via's are overkill, but its a project and I figured why not. Budget is around 250, so far I have found

This one does not have 2 NIC's or wireless, but it has a daughter board that you can buy to expand the NIC's from an extra 1 to 3 gigabit connections. The PCI slot I want to use for a wireless card.
This one has 2 NIC's and the case will allow for a wireless card to be put in there.

This last one is a celeron board which means i would have to buy a case and PSU for it. This is way more down to earth on specs, but with a case and PSU I might go with the atoms or via c7's

All the other components will come from extras lying around.
