Looking to build a router box, seeking some general advice

[Chris Brennan]

Greetings!

While trying to learn IPv6 as best as I can and messing with my Linksys 
WRT54Gv3 router running DD-WRT, I realized that it cannot properly do 
IPv6 yet. This leaves me rather limited. More then once some people on 
IRC who were helping me with this suggested I build my own router, this 
has been something I've been looking to do for quite some time and this 
might be the fire I need lit to get motivated. The overall suggested 
board was an ALIX board[1] from PC Engines[1].

This is all rather new to me so I am unsure where to go from here, what 
all is needed (a breakdown of necessary/optional hardware/items). The 
memory and cpu I know I could google for w/o much issue. What I foresaw 
as problematic was a case for the device and a power supply. Are these 
just as easily googled for? Inversely, instead of me building my own 
(which would be great experience!) is there a place that sells devices 
such as these pre-assembled?

The reason I direct this question here is because I do intend to use 
FreeBSD as the devices OS and figured who better to ask!
