Go down to Walmart, and you can probably buy one with all that you need and maybe more for that price or less. Burn the Windows DVD's, kill disk the hard drive, and put Linux in. It's cheaper to buy a computer with Windows than it is without, because the Microsoft tax, which I understand to be about $100, is more than offset by the computer manufacturer being able to sell space on the hard drive to the bloat ware companies, like Norton and the games makers (for the teaser edition stuff.) I've seen them sell full systems for $300 bucks and I mean in the last six months.
