Consider ISA-based firewall appliance - see http://www.isaserver.org/hardware/ISA-Appliances/ for product list and users' opinions
Nowadays almost all appliances are stock-standard PCs with hard drives and all that, running hardened OS. Checkpoint Secure Platform is Linux, and it converts almost any standard server into Checkpoint "appliance". Those who ship preconfigured appliances use Linux (i.e. Cyberguard SG series), BSD derivatives, or Windows in case of ISA appliances. So there is no real difference between "software" and "appliances".
