If you need a bleeding edge chip you can configure a poweredge 400 server with a 3.2ghz chip for $573. Hot, considering the bare chip alone goes for $680 on pricewatch. No OS, though.
This unit is confirmed by Dell to have an AGP slot, onboard audio and hyperthreading. It accepts non-ecc memory, effectively making it just like their desktop line.
Start here.
Add 3.2ghz, free keyboard and mouse.
Hard drive upgrades are reasonable:
50% OFF the Upgrade to a 80GB 7.2K RPM IDE Hard Drive [add $35 or $1/month1]
