Why?  Serious question here...  Is it space?  If so, there are embedded 
systems that will run m0n0wall very wall, and can be mounted in a 5.25 
drive bay.  You now have a much more secure network in a singe package. 
  However, if it is policy, you might want to look at the rebuilt 
m0n0wall VMware images.  There has also been more than a bit of 
discussion securing this solution.

Not saying your option is a bad one...  Just giving you more to think about.
