I’m constantly seeing old P4 computers for $89 usually 2.8 or 3.0 with 512meg ram. Those make excellent Linux computers.
Yeah, with those you gotta be sure it doesn’t have one of the recalled vid cards tho. I got an earlier model as a gift and exchanged the video card at least 5 times before they finally gave up and just recalled that whole lot entirely, so many were coming back with grinding and dead fans.
