Good morning,
Both "cheap" and "useful" for running Tor nodes at home won't be found in big box retail ever, so I would take a look at the Mikrotik RB750Gr3
- it will do exactly what you want after it's configured properly. I
used to have an RB1200 and recently upgraded to a CCR1009, both from Mikrotik, and have found them to be quite capable under heavy load.

I also recommend going with MikroTik. They handle quite impressive under heavy load and the price:performance ratio is very good, as opposite to other brands. MikroTik also runs RouterOS (on linux kernel) that comes with a management tool with graphical interface and it has been heavily improved.
