I don't know if people are aware of it, but Wal-Mart online is selling PCs with no OS; the lowest-priced machine is $400. They're also selling PCs preinstalled with LindowsOS (but of course you could install whichever distro you want); the lowest price on these is $300 for a Duron 850, 128MB RAM, 10GB hard disk, NIC, and 56K softmodem with Linux driver. Even at the lower price of $35 for the RAM plus $90 to upgrade the processor, puts you nearly halfway there. Just something to think about.
