Good idea: if you're interested in weighing up the options I considered
one of these for a similar purpose:

They seem to need more effort set up, so if ease of use beats price then
you're probably better off with your first choice.
In the end I plumped for a new micro-ATX case to house my daughter's old
Shuttle mobo and Athlon XP2400+. I saved about 50 quid on the bundle
price (above), but it chucks out far too much heat for 24x7 operation
and my downstairs loo is now like a sauna! On top of that she snaffled
the nice new case too - doh! I should have flogged the mobo, cpu and
1Gb RAM and put the proceeds towards a new Slug!
