Any recommendations?
newegg.com has a "bookshelf computers" category I was
glancing at the other day. Perhaps one of them
would be good?

Pricey. The cheapest is $85 and it seems to be just the system with no memory. I MIGHT have memory here from a system that smoked, but I can't
tell...
I don't know where you have been looking for prices but in one of the
UK supplier's web pages it is offered as the model B with memory for
£21.60 which is way less than the $85 that you quoted!

Are you mixing newegg.com online catalog with Rasberry Pi?

Here is what I found on newegg...

       Do you have to buy the processor separately?

           "Other Thoughts: Very easy to assemble this system, even
           though it is very tight. Solid build quality and lot of
           though went into the design. I like the custom heatsink. The
           system runs cool, but the fans make some clicking sound, I
           may need to talk to the support on that.

           Overall a good buy if you have one of those old core i3
           clarkdale CPUs lying around."

Oh, I missed that one!  Seems like this is a REALLY barebones box!

I understand the goals of pogoplug and Raspberry Pi and their use of ARM processors and little memory.

But I want things that are a bit more common and not needing special compiling and the like. Therefore Intel type architecture and 1Gb memory. So I do not expect to find this for $50, other than used and then it won't be low power.

My current server is such, I got it as a clearance from the stock of a defunct router startup. I pulled the IDE to SD card and installed a 2.5" IDE drive and I was on my way...
