An old Pentium w/ bootable CD-ROM capabilities will let you slap
in 2 PCI NICs, and create a bootable CD firewall. So, only a CD
drive will be needed, and most of the time it will be not spinning.
You can make a syslog server and send the log files to another
machine that has the disk space to hold as many logs as you want.
