I read recently a claim that a 386SX with lots of memory
made a perfectly adequate Unix box (which I took to include X).
This made quite an impression on me,
as the author claimed you could get such a setup for $1000.
(Not including software, I assume.)

It would be nice to hear from someone that has actually done this,
in the real world.
