Since obviously you're going cheap, here's what I'd go with: get an older AMD XP, two nice IDE disks with some Ram cache, a cheapy Matrox video card, a firewire card, and two cheapy external IDE hard disks. Use the Firewire disks for backup, and if you ever want to play with linux RAC you've got what you need.

Run Redhat 7.3 (close to AS 2.1) and build your own kernel from the 2.5 branch...or use the developer AS 2.1 if you can still get that for the 60 bucks.

A gig of RAM should be enough.
