I dont have $100... but, someday, I might be able to dedicate something better... someday... I have an old gateway that has/had a 700MHz processor in it. I could easily just buy a new HDD and PSU for it, and all would be well in my world.

here's the list I made for a cheap server:

of course, if you already have old ram, hdd, and/or case, you can subtract that cost. ;)

Hers a cheaper one (not by much... and I am not so sure about the motherboard vs. cpu combination)

But, nevertheless, thats still to expensive for me.

eBay might be a better solution
