water cooler :: cheapest pc ever......
just had too share this........
last fri I bought a computer for £10.......yes thats right ten G.B.P
granted its an old old turtle but with dsl it flies.......
spec is 200 mhz intel p11 proc 80 mb ram 3.2gb h/d...
floppy, cd-rom inbuilt radio and tv card..........
all running sweet as a nut....
the reason it was so cheap the advert said needed driver.....
what it should have said was needs an o/s (lol)....
I can beat 10 pounds.
How about free? My cousins computer monitor stopped working and I got it and I got it for free 
cousin: "Jerome...i think my computer's busted...there's no picture."
jerome5 (checking it out): "Hmmmm...yeah...i think you're right, it's definitely broken. Ummm...you should probably get a new computer. Let me...umm....throw this one away for you..."
I got one for £2 - 266Mhz Took a bit of hacking to get it to work, but runs as a nice little cheap server now.
You guys are sure making me feel good about the hardware I've got.
Three of the four PCs I'm running here are older/slower/smaller than the ones you're discussing. 
People who advertise computers for sale in my neighborhood *always* ask for way more than the machine is worth. They just don't realize how fast "cutting-edge technology" depreciates.
I don't think I'd ever buy a brand new PC.
