I don't buy this at all. A Cisco 2501 is only ~$1700 and requires *zero* maintenance once it's set up. For a typical setup, that takes about 10 minutes. If you build a machine yourself, using reliable, quality parts, you're lucky if you save $500 under that. And then you're worrying about hard drive crashes, config changes, OS security holes, etc.
