Get Second P III 800mhz with 256 Mb ram and then use Deepfreeze and you are good to go.Anything more is waste of money.
You can use the recent CPU's any of them as a Server.
And please do not skip on good Lan Port Switch.Never use any thing less than D-link.
Best of luck.

Why don't you order nettops.

THey are based on ATOM. And they barely take any power or space. And for netsurfing and business(power efficient), they are the best.
