* Mini-ATX Athlon 750 box with 256MB RAM, onboard RTL8139 NIC,
  no peripherals, in slimline case, bought on TradeMe
  3 years ago: $95

* 6.4GB HDD from my spares box: $0

* Debian woody linux, Apache2, exim4, python2.3, mysql...: $0

* Satisfaction of seeing a sub-$100 box racking up ridiculously
  long uptimes as a 24/7 web/mail server: priceless

Cheers
