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.

Can you give me a good example of this?

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.
