I've seen some sub $100 deals in the Hot Deals forum in the past for PIII dell desktops and junk like that. Can anyone remember or recommend some online vendors that sell that stuff?

Thank you.

Try computersurplusoutlet.com in Vegas and sign up for the e-mail bulletins they always have a boatload of this kind of stuff, they will have free shipping about once a month for subscribers.

Retrobox has quite a few systems in stock and they are very inexpensive, I think. Bought a refurbed IBM Pentium 3, 500Mhz with 256 megs of ram, 10 gig hard drive for like $125.00. They ship them with NIC, Keyboard and mouse.

Pawn shops nation wide have tons of this stuff. Businesses give it away by the pallet load. Here we have a junk trading platform at the local landfill and the dumpsters at the transfer stations that have so much stuff to choose from that you can easily lose a half a day every time you haul the trash.

A little off topic but we have one pawn shop and they had a Packard Bell sx25 they were asking $200.00 for and sold it to some poor moron.

Try local computer shows, I've always seen boatloads of Dells, Gateways, and IBMs there.

I checked a lot of those sites and the sub 75 dollar computers seem nice except I need windows...

I agree, get one locally if you can. Online stores tend to have ridiculous shipping rates on old systems, often exceeding the value of the system itself.
