My firewall at home is on a 133mhz machine.  Works great.

Go down to a Used PC Store or look in the paper.  You can probably
pick an old clunker up for 50 bucks or so.  If not, let me know as
Cornerstone throws machines out all the time.  You pay the shipping
and you can have one.

You'd be surprised how little machine is required when there is no
user interface running!
