I like the E-Machines that were mentioned above.
Since the day that old workhorse pentium came out, things have change as I'm sure your well aware. Why not just upgrade your sys?
Yes, I have an older eMachine laying around and it struck me as pretty good value for the money. 500 MHz Celeron or something like that. Since I don't waste a lot of time with mindless games or downloading porn and so on, it handles pretty much all of my computing needs fairly well. Unfortunately, it's going to my daughter and my PIV is going off somewhere else, so it's either back to the Pentium or bite the bullet. Nowadays, that bullet isn't very big.
Just to be clear, I wasn't thinking of only upgrading the cpu; I was looking for a whole system. Besides, you can't just plug a P IV in a Socket 7 machine.
