One of my local ISP offers 10Gbps broadband for cheap. What is the cheapest router setup one can get with a 10Gpbs wan and lan port? WiFi and switching hardware is optional.

cheapest option is probably a second hand office pc with a second hand 2-4 port 10gbit card in it

In the long run a PC will probably more expensive though, because it uses more electricity than a specialized embedded device. A specialized router is probably worth it if you stick with it for a while, at 10G there is little reason to upgrade.
