Find someone unloading 50 old, physically small desktop PCs.  Buy the
lot.  Drop OpenBSD and BIND on them, ship 3 to every site, run 1 or 2
live with the leftovers as on-site spares.  If one breaks, wipe the disk
and send the box to recycling.

(Just checked: someone on a certain auction site is selling a lot of 64
HP Compaq 8000 (3.16GHz, 2GB) systems, current price $1K.)
