[wplug] eMachines?

[Brandon Kuczenski]

I am looking to set up an inexpensive gateway/firewall in my lab ato CMU.  
Some cmu.misc.market (cmu-private newsgroup) guy is selling an eMachines 2
GHz Celeron system for $200.  Would it be a mistake for me to use such a
cheap POS as a linux gateway and fileserver?  The only reason I even
looked at the ad was because it had a couple peripheral devices I was
personally interested in (like an internal DVD/CDRW drive).
