There are lots of them on sale on Ebay for very very cheap. Those
Pentium Pro chips with all the on-chip cache make excellent servers,
lots of bang for the buck. I have two of them, both using dual Pentium
Pro 200's on the Intel Providence motherboard. I love those machines.
You can put together a fully SCSI, SMP machine for less then $500 US.

Toby thanks I have found a killer deal with your advice! I am planning on
using this for both apache and mysql on the same server. Do you see a
problem with this, from a performance standpoint?
Thanks Matt
