Any good OEM's for extremely cheap PC's

[StevenRFrancis]

Well I need to buy a really cheap computer, say <200 to use as a jukebox. I just need a comp without an OS or monitor, VNC will do. Anyone recommend a good brand or steal they have found? Pricewatch shows plunty, but I'd rather check to see if anyone has had some good experiences they could share?

BTW, it has to be upgradable as I need to stick in a large hard drive and nice sound card I already own.

get a mobo with everything on it and build it yourself. If you buy a cheap OEM comp it's most likely going to be outdated technology and hardly upgradable.

If you have a Fry's nearby, they usually have 1ghz Via based machines for $200. That includes case, mobo, memory, hard drive, and cdrom I believe.

Or Wal-Mart. Look for a "Lindows PC" then just install an OS that doesn't suck.

And there's always the FS/T forum.

Fryz will have a cheapo Via C3 system for $100 tomorrow.
