I just happen have a computer that approximately meets those requirements
sitting around the office, just waiting for somebody to put it back
in service.  Two of them actually. One was formerly a firewall and
already has dual NICs installed. I think that one is a PII. The other
is a P4.

Contact me off-list if you're interested. They're free.  Located near RTP.
