I spent a total of $251 (including tax) on the machine that runs htdig.org...
It is a celeron 350 with a b747 motherboard (one of those all-in-one boards
with integrated video and sound), 64MB ram, intel 10/100 nic, and 2.1 GB ide
disk.
(I already had the disk and case) It doesn't have a floppy nor cdrom. I
installed Debian linux on it by borrowing a floppy from another machine to
boot and install the base, the rest of the install went through the network.
The system sits in a corner of my office and only has power and network
connected; no need for a keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.
As you can tell I pieced together this system myself. I used PC-Club, who
have a store one block over from my office in San Diego.
