I've made load balancing, 5 zone, gigabit firewalls on 300mhz geode chips, you dont need anything as high end as what you described.... Save it for a server... take an old pentium2 pc, build it outa that, and then get an old pentium 3 box and make a reverse squid proxy to make things really safe...
maybe he's going to slap on openVPN and do some VPN sessions.. a normal house box.. agree is over kill but once you get into vpn sessions.. it gets a less more cpu intensive
