Don't have any Office Depot over here in West Oz but some may find it interesting.

Office Depot will sell a Hewlett-Packard desktop PC complete with a CRT monitor and printer for $99. The bundle, which typically sells for $429, involves a $100 in-store instant rebate and four mail-in coupons.
I wonder what the specifications are. Well it's probably better than my old Win98 PC which is pathetically slow compared to my WinXP PC. This deal may actually be worth checking out just for a somewhat "good" second PC for backup purposes.
The stats are here, funny how I didn't notice the link the first time when I read the article.
Find a brand new computer with those specs and a monitor for under $200(including shipping.) on ebay. And don't even give me a auction that just started for $5 with 7 days left either.
Wow, that's a great deal on a budget computer! My only suggestion is that if someone buys it, they don't get the $50 RAM upgrade. It already comes with 256 MB, and adding another 256 MB stick (to bring it up to 512 MB) would only cost you around $30, not the $50 that HP is charging.
Also, I would recommend throwing one of these in it.
nah I doubt they would not include the monitor and printer. Dumb yes but they probably figure they will make their money back selling you $50 ink cartridges.

Hopefully nobody takes me seriously on that...
Haha......omg..thats so great...a freakin' x1900!?!?! LOL
But seriously, anyone who did this should do the hdd upgrade, but a different RAM and Monitor upgrade.
I know. It's out of stock everywhere. It's a shame that none of us got one before they ran out. I would pay the $250 just for all of the parts if nothing else.
After shipping costs, and tax the total was $250, fyi.
