I have ripped a PIX apart and it is a Pentium PC with a flash device for storage. Oh, it also has a floppy drive, which must be why it's so expensive ;-) Actually, Cisco is perfectly happy to overcharge for parts that you could find elsewhere. One such example is RAM: Cisco charges $1200 for the same 64MB of RAM you could pick up at CompUSA for under $200. Of course, if you use RAM other than what Cisco provides, you invalidate the warranty on the router.
