Get a reasonably cheap Unix server by converting a Chromebox to Ubuntu.

== How I did it ==

I bought an ASUS [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IT1WJZQ Chromebox from Amazon] for $160.

I followed the instructions on the [http://kodi.wiki/view/Chromebox Kodi page ]to install Ubuntu as a single boot image. In case that page goes away the key incantations are

#You must remove the screw to enable firmware update
#To run the ChromeBox E-Z Setup script, perform the following steps:
##Power on and boot to ChromeOS. Do not log in, but ensure a network connection is established.
##Hit [CTRL][ALT][F2] to open a command prompt ([CTRL][ALT][<--] for ChromeOS keyboards)
##Login with user chronos (no password required)
##Download and run the ChromeBox setup script using the following two commands (hit enter after typing each command): (in place of the <url> below use goo.gl/3Tfu5W) curl -L -O [http:// http://]<url>      sudo bash 3Tfu5W
##Follow the instructions to update your firmware and then reboot.
##Repeat step 4
##Now choose to install Ubuntu and Kodi in a standalone mode
##Reboot into Ubuntu

To get the BEEP command to work....  it boils down to un-blacklisting the <code>pcspkr</code> module in <code>/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf</code>. (thanks to [http://askubuntu.com/questions/41289/how-do-i-make-the-beep-command-work antiplex])
