Also, you can buy off lease already assembled 3 GHz hyperthreaded IBM boxes 
with loads of memory, HD, DVD, USB ports and other goodies including XP pro 
for between $150 & $300.

I have two of these machines. One was a full sized 3 Ghz desktop machine 
with a floppy drive, 40 GB HD, 1 GB RAM, DVD read/write, 1 serial port, 1 
parallelport, 6 USB ports, a half dozen expansion slots and XP pro for $195 
Canadian delivered to the door. VE5UF has purchased quite a few. I am 
thinking of buying a couple more just have around '' just in case"" :)
