I bought a mini PC from these guys:

http://www.mini-box.com/MiniPC-Value-Systems

With a 60GB SSD and a reasonable amount of RAM (4GB? I'm on the other
side of the country and can't look) it was about $250.  Internally
it's a normal PC, plug in an Ethernet cable, boot the FreeBSD
installer from a USB stick and off you go.  It's fanless, small,
silent, and reliable.  I use it for the usual home server stuff.  I
had some 1 GB disk drives lying around so I bought a four drive ESATA
case and a PCI ESATA adapter card, and have a 3GB ZFS RAID.

I looked at Soekris but this was cheaper and required no kludgery to
set up since it has a normal screen adapter and USB for the keyboard.

R's,
