"Personal", non-router hardware firewall?

I recall a now-discontinued product by ZyXel that was a "personal firewall appliance" or somesuch, wasn't a router or anything, just a firewall. Cost about $75 or so. I've been searching around but don't see anything else like it out there right now.

Anyone know of a similar product that isn't an expensive enterprise-grade job?

While not in the price range...I've seen quite a few reviews 'n articles about the Yoggie Pico. Small USB stick running a linux firewall.

As long as it's easily configurable, I'd be willing to go to $200 for solid security. I've used software firewalls (Comodo for the past year or so) but as with any program, if it crashes, you're naked.

Open Pico mean open box?
