Subject: How to DIY/Setup An Open Source IP PBX Appliance/Server?

Good day from Singapore,

After reading recent reviews, I gather that Asterisk is the gold 
standard when it comes to open source VoIP systems and it is the most 
famous open source PBX out there.

The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

"Asterisk is a core component in many commercial products and 
open-source projects. Some of the commercial products are hardware and 
software bundles, for which the manufacturer supports and releases the 
software with an open-source distribution model.

AskoziaPBX, a fork of the m0n0wall project, uses Asterisk PBX software 
to realize all telephony functions.

AstLinux is a "Network Appliance for Communications" open-source 
software distribution.[15]

FreePBX, an open-source graphical user interface, bundles Asterisk as 
the core of its FreePBX Distro[16]

LinuxMCE bundles Asterisk to provide telephony; there is also an 
embedded version of Asterisk for OpenWrt routers.

PBX in a Flash/Incredible PBX and trixbox are software PBXes based on 
Asterisk.

Elastix previously used Asterisk, HylaFAX, Openfire and Postfix to offer 
PBX, fax, instant messaging and email functions, respectively, before 
switching to 3CX.

Issabel is an open-source Unified Communications software which uses 
Asterisk for telephony functions. It was forked from the open-source 
versions of Elastix when 3CX acquired it.

*astTECS uses Asterisk in its VoIP and mobile gateways."

I would like to DIY/setup an IP PBX appliance/server using free open 
source projects.
Which free open source project, mentioned in the list and links above, 
would you recommend to DIY my IP PBX appliance/server?

Should I buy a desktop computer or get one of those appliances listed in 
the link below to serve as my IP PBX appliance/server?

Please also refer me to very good, detailed and well explained 
guides/tutorials/manuals on setting up open source IP PBX 
appliances/servers.

Lastly, please recommend a cheap and affordable IP phone (suggest brand 
and model) to go along with my DIY open source IP PBX appliance/server.
