Hard to say.  I have seen RaQ2s going for about 300$ and Qube2's a 
little less.

I actually have a RaQ2s (with SCSI) and a Qube 2700WG, both now 
gathering dust as I cannot get either to remain stable under load in 
NetBSD.  I had very high hopes to get the RaQ2 to act as PPPoE router, 
yet I cannot get that part of the kernel to stabilize and I have 
Interrupt issues with the network cards themselves.  Too bad.  You want 
a go at it ?
