   Or you could do like I did and go to savemyserver.com and buy a decent    
   Dell server with the following configuration:   
      
   Dell PowerEdge 860 Server    
   2.13GHz Dual Core    
   2GB RAM    
   250GB SATA Hard Drive   
      
   The cost with shipping and handling was $83.08 (which breaks down to    
   $59.95 plus $23.13 for S&H).  I have two of these boxes in my rack here at    
   home -- one for web and email hosting and the other dedicated to the BBS    
   and both running 32-bit Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) Enterprise.  They    
   don't come with rails or front bezels but I was able to find those for    
   cheap on eBay without any issues.  Here is a link to what I bought:   
      
   http://www.savemyserver.com/dell-poweredge-860-server-2-13ghz-dual-core-   
   2gb-ram-250gb-sata-hard-drive/   
      
   Their items may be refurbs, but they work well enough for a dedicated    
   hobbyist BBS machine.  Plus, if you want to add another SATA drive into    
   the machine, there is a spot for another drive as well.
