Buy a Dell.

You can get the Poweredge 400SC tower server for around $250 (I have seen as
low as $228) after rebates when they run their specials (almost every week).

P4 2.26 ghz, 128 ram, 40 GB hard drive, CDrom. Also has SATA connectors on
the board and 1 year warranty.

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).
