Do you know of any smaller scale hardware capable of routing 25Gbit/s?

EOLd mellanox sx6036 switches can be had for $200 on ebay.
That’s a switch though, not a router OP is building. And I doubt this heavy duty thing uses less power than OPs setup (and we’re taking in a thread complaining about power usage)

I agree. that it uses (relatively) lots of power (and is very noisy). but a managed switch might serve the guys router needs as well. depends what hes trying to do. Most people using a "router" inside the home, can probably get away with a managed switch. But another question was cost, so was trying to address that.
