You don't say if you need a desktop or notebook.

I did a quick search today, and was astonished of how low prices have gotten
lately on desktops... take this one for instance:

*HP Pavilion **a1450n **Desktop PC
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4200+,
2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, LightScribe Double Layer DVD+/-R/RW Drive
*NVidia GeForce 6150LE Graphics with up to 256MB
Price?: $599

Oh my...

Too bad I can't discount the price of WinXX and get a blank formatted HD.
Otherwise I'll be paying the "Microsoft tax" for nothing just to then
install Fedora Core 5 or Ubuntu over it...
