There's really nothing specific to the Cube for this. Standard Linux
routing and iptables facilities are fine. If anything, it's more
powerful than you need. I use a PowerMac 7600 for my
gateway/firewall, and a (headless) Cube as a music server.

You can't add an internal one, but a USB one should be OK for a
typical cable or DSL modem link.

It's even quieter (and cooler) if you remove the graphics card
entirely and run it headless.
