This guy wants low cost equipment.  If they have been running on a 486
box up until now, speed is certainly not an issue.  I'd suggest
browsing ebay for a 1-2 year old dual core server or workstation.
You'd be surprised at how cheap they are once they come off lease.

I do this myself every couple of years.  Since this is a business, I'd
recommend tossing the drives that come with the system (they will have
already been used, misused and abused).  Get a couple new scsi type
drives to run as a mirrored set.  Grab the latest copy of SuSE (or
your choice of linux) and your set.

If you'd like to increase costs a bit, you can alway's purchase
Windows Server 2003.
