I would think you could look for off-lease "no-os" refurb units on TigerDirect for maybe $100. <br><div><div>

<pre>Hi all.
I've come to the point where my next generation o little ones will be going online, and I'm going to build me a content filtering firewall. (Ipcop)
Thing is, I don't have any old hardware and need to get something, but anything I would buy in a store would be overkill.
I'm looking for something P3 or later, mid tower with one drive bay is fine and 4-8G of memory.
Anyone have anything like that you'd like to unload?
