Yeah, I was going to suggest to Matt that the micro-allure of rPis are nice, but it's hard to beat the bang-per-buck score of a used Dell SFF desktop PC. $90 on NewEgg for a Optiplex 3050 with 8GB of RAM, a 3.7 ghz CPU and 500 GB hard drive.

You get an intel CPU, so no compile issues, good airflow and a proper SATA interface.
