You can get a decent AMD sempron based PC for <15K I believe depending on what hardware you need. But if you don't mind having an NVidia graphics.
As to distros check out this list http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&...ion&sort=&sm=1

Rather than backups go for dumb terminals or something. Get a decently powerful server and cheap clients. Serve all the contents via NIS/LDAP/NFS/Samba, whatever you need. There was a nice article on this but can't find it at the moment, unluckily.
