It needs to be rack mountable, 1-2Us. Ideally I'd like to spend no more than $300 on it. Any more than that and it needs to be well worth it.

Doesn't really need to have beefy specs, just a decent dual or quad core CPU, 4-8 GB RAM, and it doesn't even need to have a hard drive as I have plenty of spares on hand. Must have two or more NICs, gigabit or better.

I'm open to application-oriented equipment if it can meet my needs, but the current plan is to just throw OPNsense on the machine.

Just setting up interfaces alone requires unnecessary steps, instead of just setting up the gateway address/netmask on an interface directly like you would on almost any other firewall, you have to create a subnet/network object in a separate tab and assign that to an interface there, not the worst example but certainly not used to doing it this way.
