Well, the features and esp. the JunOS cli are worth a lot. And
if you need to route more than say 3 gbit/s, PC hardware just
won't cut it.

Then again, if you like the CLI, don't need to route more
than 1 gbit/s, and don't need to do fancy stuff like MPLS,
QoS or shaping, there's always solutions like http://www.vyatta.com/
