Back in the early to mid 1990's I did a site for way less than that. The major expenses were a Mac machine and Mac software for the web server. I told them that they could use an Intel box and free server software for a lot less $'s, but it for an Apple based shop and their IT was Apple only. This was even before Apache on Linux, BTW. There was some cool stuff that even ran under DOS, but you needed to get a truly working version of Trumpet Winsock (not the free one) to make it work robustly. DOS had no socket functionality so you needed to build your own or buy it 3rd party. It was only around $20 if my memory is correct.
