One of my Mandriva servers is running as a replicator target on a
circa1999 ~400 MHz P2Mobile IBM Thinkpad w. 256Mb and a 20 Gb 52K rpm
hard disk, that I bought *very* second-hand for $90 AUD last
year. With 6 other clients connected it still keeps going. It's
just used as a lab machine most of the time, though. I don't think
I'd try using it as a back-end for Amazon or eBay. :-) Still, if
need be, I can get a 2-channel PCMCIA cardbus for $69 and put SATA
drives on it. ;-)
