*waves to JD*
I have a server from ebay for REAL cheap. It is a Compaq DL380 G2 that is now running my firewall(IPCop) that I got for $65. It has a pair of pIII cpus, a gig of memory and a pair of 36gigs HD(using just one of them) You might want to try there.
IPCop installed just great on it. I then restored the configuration that I saved from my old firewall box.
