(not my site)... Seems like a great deal to me... www.compgeeks.com HP Pavilion Athlon XP2400+ mini tower, 128mb ddr, 60gb hd, cdrom, modem, firewire, 10/100 eithernet, ac97 audio, video.. $330 (referb) Only question I would have is if it had a AGP slot to replace the video card... but many wouldn't care for emulation only purposes. But with a quick search from HP's website. The pavilion 700 and greater series are the only ones that allow for a 2.4+ processor. And these seem to all have AGP slots... So it probably (hopefully) does. Anyone looking for another machine... it might be a great place to start. I'm considering it for an office machine and let me use my main pc as a pure game machine. <edit> Thanks for noticing the mistype |

Pricewatch has 2.4 XP systems starting at $231 with a smaller HD and not HP, though. http://www.pricewatch.com/1/335/5233-1.htm *shrug* (sorry Rampy) |

AGP slot is important. And I can't get any of these companies to support the price they mention... I've tried 2 so far (so the any is limited)... but they all go to a build your config page... and they end up being about 350. The other has a bunch of options that you probably don't need... (firewire, pci modem) but your right... not as good of a deal as I thought.. |

Although Rampy recommends checking resellerratings.com And I have seen companies selling mobo's for low prices, but then it says OEM (add $10 to make this a retail product with driver CD's etc.) Which wouldn't be a problem if the drivers were available on the web, but . . . |

I found a particular seller on ebay who has like 15000 good feedback and sells barebones machines for under $100. (By that I mean they never go over $100.) Haven't bought from him, but it looks like a good start for a machine. They come with motherboard, processor, and case in different configurations. I don't care so much about the case, but I suppose you have to get it that way. I have all the extra parts, anyways so maybe I'll do that. The Intel machines are all celerons, but he has AMD setups as well. His name is "ezbpc". |
