BIG-IP Load Balancers

Am looking to setup a small load-balanced cluster for client. Am on a a VERY tight budget (emphasis supplied).

Client wanted to know if they could buy the BIP-IP Load Balancers (tons of them being sold on Ebay) and utilize them.

I saw the prices - like $250/Load Balancer. Pretty cheap. Its a Pentium III - 500MHz, 128MB RAM, Less than 10GB Hard disk.

Would something like this suffice for load balancing 5 machines (for web) - daily pageviews about 45,000?

For what its worth the auction is on:

Any users of BIG-IP - please do PM me
