I bought a 5013G-i barebones 1U from Supermicro (www.supermicro.com). 
Nice chassis :-) Added 256M ram and a 2.2 Ghz p4 celeron and 2 40g ata 
133 ide drives - complete 1U rack mountable system for <1k$. Installed 
RedHat 9 plus all updates/errata, my Asterisk CVS get/make/install 
scripts and voila - instant Asterisk box :-) This makes Asterisk #3 in 
the home network :-)

The SIP stuff you reference is dead easy. The ISDN - well, ISDN is 
pretty much dead here in the US (except PRI) so on that I'm sure someone 
else will assist.
