I am currently running m0n0wall on 2 net4501 boxes and 1 pentium 90mhz
box. The only requirement for the pentium 90 is the ability to bypass
keyboard/video errors (well, that is my only requirement). Such boxes
can be had with a CD, HD, and 64+mb ram for under US $50 these dayse,
if you can find them. Otherwise, searching ebay reveals a multitude of
small footprint boxes for under US$100 and quite a few for under
US$50. If you don't want to use an actual HD, then a IDE -> CF adapter
is running between $10 and $20 on ebay, with 16mb CF cards for $2-3.
All told, if your bidding goes well, you could have a complete pentium
class box with CF instead of HD for under $65. If you remove the HD in
favor of CF, and install a heat pipe for CPU cooling, you could
probably even remove all the case fans in the system so that it is
mostly silent (still have the power supply fan to deal with).
