Boris,
I believe there is a company that has a "FrankenPix" for under $2k. We are
looking at using them for our PIXes that we will be adding in our racks soon
to support the CCIE Security cert. I think they have 128MB of DRAM and 16MB
of flash and will run PIX OS V6.0. Email me offline for more info.
thanks,
