Here is the latest fad in WAN land...

Intel D2500HN Main Board (about $65)
2G memory (about $12)
16 G Solid State hard drive (about $40)
Case and PS (about $50)

So, for about $175 you can have a new box that runs the standard distro 
that isn't too large and is quite reliable.  I have built 6 of these 
systems that are replacing older Dell and HP machines that were junk 
when I put them in service, but have served quite well.
