If you get another, they can make nice end tables for next to your sofa - should keep the place warm in winter, too. ;-)

Are you sure you want to have your firewall running all the time on a box that draws 450 watts of power?  That's gonna get expensive.
I'd find something else to do with it that doesn't require it being on all of the time. (Or, keep it running somewhere where you don't have to pay for the power.)
Of course, you could have it be a mail/web/file server, too, to better justify the expense of running it.

Cheers,
