I found a barebones MSI-1032 for about $600. I also found a bunch that are "fully loaded." The fully loaded ones were too expensive. They cost as much as I paid for my new Dell and I got dual core, a higher resolution screen, more memory, a 7200 RPM hard drive, and 3 year on site service. I understand not wanting to send any cash towards Microsoft, though. I just can't see spending that much more money to do it. Pat Attachment:
