Have you considered a Raspberry Pi? It's cheap, low-power, and specifically
designed for learning.
A Raspberry Pi is definitely on the cards, but running a
fully-featured Minecraft server (as Mr13 wants to do) requires more
resources that the Pi can provide.
A $300-400 netbook running some linux distro? If it is going to be on
all the time - it will have a minimal power budget.
My preference is to buy brand new - simply because the reliability
factor is high enough, and it has enough memory onboard to
meet your server requirements.
You can indeed buy secondhand. And put a lot of time into it to get it
work (as you would with any server) and then discover after "6 months"
that the disk (or memory) is faulty and needs replacing.
Cheers
