Pick up an old Sun workstation off ebay. An ultra2 2x300/2 with a gig of
RAM is a good bet for most things, and they're dirt cheap these days.
That wouldn't be an x86 though right?
No, that's SPARC. If you're looking for something that'll fit in your
closet, you may want to look into Mini-ITX or Nano-ITX (or Micro-ATX
depending on the size of your closet). Motherboards of that size will
fit nicely almost anywhere and are good for low-traffic servers.
