Mike,

I would be very interested in your final choice on this.

I am also currently looking for a home router setup.  I really want it run debian or pfsense, be fanless and take little to no power.

Top options so far are 

Choice -- remote management - KVM over IP - 2 ethernet ports - 6 sata and a pci-express

for complete fanless get a power supply like this  http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-150-XT and a notebook power brick.

-- I think that is exactly what your looking for..

Other options

an arm board -- need to add usb ethernet

or one of these embedded setups -- it says debian pkgs but its been eehh when researching that
http://www.ubnt.com/edgemax  -- there is a 100 buck version.

There are many other options but this is a quick list.

I'm thinking a small, low power consumption box of some kind, hopefully something that can handle wireless router duties, simple file sharing and media streaming, and an IPv6 tunnel. Any recommendations on hardware specs or distribution to make this out of?

The router is an old WRT54GS running OpenWRT, but it's so starved for memory that it can't handle above a 2.4 kernel, and the IPv6 tunnel doesn't work very reliably. The NAS box is a Netgear Stora with a mirrored pair of 2TB drives, but despite what some reviews might have suggested, performance using software RAID at that size is abysmal.
