    DIY or buy used?

    definitely the DIY. 1. the failure rate is probably higher because of the extra points where it could fail, but i don't think this is should be a huge concern. 2. powerhungry, definitely. does depend on what processor you pick, i think you could manage sub 75W easily with lowest CPU state...

    DIR 655 vs DGL 4500

    well i purchased the dgl-4500 for $140 CAN. not a bad price. frankly the extra 30 dollars for the 4500 is probably a good investment for future upgrades (considering my WRT54GS version 1.0 has lasted me 5-6 years)

    Dual WAN using pfSense

Keep in mind that my setup runs not only pfSense but a multitude of other stuff, but you should be looking at perhaps Via C7 or Atom (atom might even be too much, should easily handle...

    Dual WAN using pfSense

    a fairly low power box should be able to take care of such a load. i know pcengines alix won't be able to sustain that speed. personally i am building a vmware ESXi whitebox with a similar application-two WANs, run pfsense and a ton of other virtual machines (server applications, etc), and quad...
