I picked up a Microcenter bare-bones box last October.
219ドル.00
2.G Celeron
128M DDR RAM (Only two slots, though)
4 USB ports
1 old fashioned parallel, 1 old fashioned serial port
Ethernet, video on the motherboard

Doesn't come with a drive. Put a 40G Seagate in (60ドル.00). Put another 
128M DDR (35ドル.00). I had a "remanufactured" CD writer just lying around 
from a couple of years ago. Put that in. Installed Red Hat 9.
Everything works. I burn CDs, run MySQL, etc. Talks to a Win9x box via 
samba, no problems. Oh, did I mention I'm a newbie, don't really know 
what I'm doing? Box has been up 72 days. The last time it went down the 
power bounced and I don't have a UPS.
I give it an OK. :-)
