For what you described, as long as you don't need huge amounts of CPU
horsepower, something like this:

looks like it will more than fit your needs and budget. If your are
just serving to a classroom full of students, this should be more than
adequate.

I'm in the market for a small, cheap server machine to replace the aging

I don't need anything special in the way of graphics. Need 2-4 Gigs of
Ram ( to be honest, haven't had issues with the 512Meg I have in the
existing ones).
Just want something stable, able to take 2 or more SATA drives and not
be much of a power hog. I'll be using CentOS 6 on them. And I'd like to
keep it in the low range for the student server, under $500 if I can.
Dennis Kibbe has suggested some of the HP Proliant Micro Servers, and
they do look interesting. I figured I'd just ask this group for some of
their opinions,
