We bought one today, Dan...

$1100, including 1ghz PentiumIII CPU, 500mhz memory, two 40 gigabyte
hard drives (software raid).  And sound, video, cdrom & floppy as well,
none of which we need <smile>.  Plus $600 for Plesk 300-user version.

We don't put anything together ourselves, except the software install. 
I'm working on my own "kickstart" linux install; until then I install
manually from a checklist I keep.

There are two different markets here; that's the real point.
