How much horsepower do you want? I get my "servers" at Walmart for $149.00.
After I sell of the unneeded accessories, it ends up costing me less than
$100.00. Works great for mundane server duties, but not suited for high
performance demands....
The name of the product? XBOX by microsoft. About the only thing they make
right and price right.... and runs gentoo beautifully.
Other thing to think about... with Sony now retailing their new PSP machine,
maybe it'll drive the Xbox to a new low retail price... We'll see...
If you need a bit more power, check out their Linux driven desktops. Very
affordable and not too shabby either.
Cheers....

Buy an Xbox for $149.00, run linux on it and Microsoft loses $150.00!
