We do use Border Manager here.
Currently, about 250 active surfers in a 1500 user site.
The BM box is a 200Mhz-P5, 48MB RAM, two fast-scsi 1GB harddrives, and two NE2000 cards (one connected to ISP, and the other connected to internal) T1 connection to the ISP.
It is a fast 'dude'. We did (and still have) an digital alpha-based firewall. BM is faster.
Basically, we do need to add more diskstorage. The cache will 'eat' your harddrive. However, it will live with whatever you have.
We have also implemented CyberPatrol. Its pretty good.
On the filtering... there are alot of options.
by default, it will not block your javascript or java. You have various wildcards that you can use for blocking of sites, and what to cache (or not).
There are various pricing deals since, it depends on what your clients run.
