Perhaps a bit OT, but I play around with Linksys NSLU2 boxes, which
are sold as NAS appliances but, since they run Linux, can be made to
run most anything. I use one as a Postfix Mailserver and another as
an Apache web server.
I've heard tell that folks are using them as Asterisk servers, but I
don't know much more than that. Since they retail for $90 you might
be interested. Would sort of make the question of a dedicated box moot.
Check out:

These things can run Debian, and there are more than 5000 registered
users on the Yahoo group, and more than 15,000 DLs of the firmware
replacements.
