Here is a better idea!
Step 1: Go dumpster diving for old computers (Pentium 1 or better, 8MB 
IDE Storage Device or better, and a minimun of 48MB/Ram).
Step 2: Grab some networks cards wail your in the dumpster.
Step 3: Install said network cards into computers.
Step 4: Install and configure m0n0wall on said computers.
