I don't know if you would considder this modern enough, but I have had
good luck with my HP MV2120 that I picked up for about $30 on ebay.
You will need to supply a drive and a power supply in addition to the
basic unit. I am running Wheezy on mine and it is used to run
rsnapshot,apcupsd and soon dnsmasq (that one is still on the Slug it
replaced).
