I am running this BBS on a Pi 2 and it runs quite well.  I am calling
into it using an UP Board sbc which also works quite well.  As it has an
intel chip, it is in a different price range than the pi.

I also have a galileo sbc (intel) that I was able to get really cheap. 
Unfortunately, it does not even have enough resources to recompile a
kernel so I could not do too much with it, but it does function well as a
network print server.
