I'm actually in the market for a old dumb box and for power(i.e. energy/electricity) reasons I'm shying away from the PressHot - Pentiums. I'm targeting a Core 2 Duo which seem like a great balance between power and performance and I'm reasonably sure that the money I'd save by going this route would not be recovered over the course of 5 years if I get a more recent box.

You may go with one of the desktop Atoms. They can, IIRC, handle up to 4 GB of RAM and consume less power than a Core 2 Duo.

  That might work. I'm looking for a pure file backup server that can receive the occasional fax and use PHP's sendmail function.
