For home use I recommend the IBM Thinkcentre M8183 (small footprint) PC You can pick these up for $90-$120 You may need to add some memory to make it up to 1 gig but I don't think you will find better value. If you are going to use an existing analog line you will need an FXO card otherwise the better option is to port your number to a ITSP like Unlimitel which will save you money and give a higher quality sound. Your router can be almost anything but I like the Linksys wrt54 series. If you want to be adventurous you can flash the ROM in these routers to "Tomato" software. For SIP phones take a look at the Linksys SPA942 or you can use an ATA and plug in any standard POTS phone. My favorite Asterisk distro would be "PBX in a Flash" which is installed in less than an hour (from an ISO CD)
As for the business system, there are too many variables to answer your question properly here. You should be looking at a dual core Zeon as the server.
