Of course, you could easy use some of the router distros such as ipcop and many others (see ). Openwrt will also allow a pc to act as an expensive router without the big price tag. Openwrt is a cousin so to speak of DD-WRT that is installed on many brand name routers to increase their capabilities. This is a great project to put an old pc back to work. Nothing wrong with the boxed routers for a turnkey setup. You are not limited by the memory or space of the boxed routers. Having a router on a pc makes more sense not only for the ability to upgrade the hardware, but you can add so many more features software wise.
With things changing so fast, that seems like a boon only for the router manufacturers. The little network routers you can purchase in the store are ok, but they are not upgradeable.
