Subject: RE: Tech: Which Computer?
For absolute cheap, you might look at The $159 Computer.

Since it's only available in limited areas, you may not be able to find one in your market, and you might not want one if you could, but the article tells you what you need to bring this bare-bones PC up to "useful" speed, which may give you some ideas of what to look for from more conventional suppliers. You'll need to read the whole thing, and maybe make notes. (If you let the first page load completely the last thing to appear will be a "print" down at the bottom. Click it, and you'll get the whole article without going thru a bunch of "next" buttons - and can print it if you like.)
