I'll also second the Dell option. The low end small business server
machines are quiet and fast enough.
You'll pay a premium for their bigger drives, but if you wait for a
deal it's quiet competitive.

I spent:
Shuttle $179.00
512M: $31.00
Sempron 3000: $85.00
WD 320G HD: $119.00
Asus DVD: $23.00
Total: $437.00
I can't recall all of the shipping charges - some of the items shipped
free and some had a smal charge - but it was reasonable.
I thought about just using some old disk drives that I have on hand. I
have an old ATA 80G drive and a USB 80G drive and some older drives. I
could have cobbled together enough disk space by using multiple old
drives in a larger case. Actually, my previous version of this system
was a Pentium II/266 wich used some disk space actually SMB mounted
from another windows system! Crazy, eh?
