In order to make a computer into a firewall, all you really need are a CD drive (to load the OS), two network cards, and then the basic stuff (motherboard, RAM, CPU). You don't even need a harddrive - though in that case you'll want a floppy drive to store configuration data on.

You can get "OS on a CD" packages like Knoppix or Smoothwall and boot the computer with that and set it up.
