There's been lots of good advice.

We also use Alix boards (D13) for low encrypted throughput scenarios. 
They are very good. Will apparently work with IPCop 1/2 (but we use pfsense:

If however you need a bit more welly then try one of these:

with one of these:

http://linitx.com/product/12576

and these:

http://linitx.com/product/13116

These will fit in any standard box or any MiniITX case.

We find PSU issues (correctly mentioned by one respondent) to be reduced 
by using these:

and a 12V brick:
