Not been keeping up with RAM prices have you? £512M of RAM is $60ish. A small 10/100 switch costs $90ish. Ethernet cables $10 each for two. No need for Photoshop - $35 copy of ACDSee will let you scan stuff in. A small PC $500. A small monitor $50. Firewire card $100. Well it's rather less than thousands of dollars...
