There is no real point for this market. The lowest spec machine brand new probably cost around �250(Probably around $250 in the US) without monitor. With this as the price for a machine with probably 1.2Ghz, 512Mb RAM and 40Gb Hard drive - who wants to pay more than around�50 for an old 500Mhz with 128Mb RAM . If you skip the hard drive, you could probably save another $50 but I wouldn't recommend this - the new harddrives are *very* big and *much* faster. Something else you can do is replace one of your other machines with a new one and put that as the server - I did this a couple of times. Very worthwhile.
