The short answer would be no, at least not with new parts. You will be
hard pressed to get a suitable mobo, CPU, RAM, NIC, HD, and case for
anywhere near $150. That said, the second-hand and surplus markets are
probably an excellent source for systems meeting your specs, but the
only recommendation one could possibly make is "see what's out
there" or
"Ebay".

Go for a compaq deskpro "sff" 1ghz, with all the things
you don't need, hd,cdrom,floppy,sound,nic with three available
pci slots.  These can be found on ebay $100-$125.
There small, quite and linux friendly and make a very
nice little asterisk box.

It ain't gonna get cheaper than that.
