For routers one can buy things like an ASUS wL500G Deluxe and throw the OpenWRT distribution at it.
5 switched network ports, WLAN, a 200MHz processor, 32MB RAM and two USB2 ports for external storage, an ISDN adapter for VoIP and so on...

And all that for 90 Euro and maybe 5 Watts of electical power and of course no noise whatsoever. The power savings alone should account for the little investment over an old PC in a year or so.
