At $199, I would buy one just for hobby purposes. It would be fun to mess around with Linux.

You can download VMWare server for Linux (from VMWare) free of charge and run one of your old operating systems on it as well.

It would be fun to mess around with Linux. You can do that with a live CD, which will not disturb your current Windows installation in any way, since it boots and runs from the CD.
You can download and ISO image, then burn it to CD.
Mepis is my current favorite, but there are many others.

At $199, I would buy one just for hobby purposes. At $199, I would buy one and load XP with one of my licenses on it.
I wonder what the actual hardware specifications are.
Might be worth a look.
