I don't see why not - the backend doesn't require much to run really. I'd
suggest that you'd want external storage of some sort for recordings
though - forget 5400RPM, the size is a limiting factor in and of itself.
When I picked mine up, the base system was $529, and the "deal" I got was
$599 with the upgraded processor 2Gb of RAM and a 250GB disk. Not cheap,
but not a bad machine really. Looks like the same thing would cost a bit
more today, even new.
