Looking to upgrade

[Brian Kelsay]

Some new machines with AMD processors and 256MB go for about $300-699 so the price is probably 
right at $200.   Those machines normally come w/ a cheap keyboard and speakers.   You can add those 
items yourself for about $10-20.   Used monitors can be had for around $100-200 depending on size.  
 Speaking of which, I have a used 21" I'd let go for $100.   I have two of its brothers working 
just fine under winders and Linux of varying distros.   I also have a 17" I'd let go for $50 and 
it's a real good MultiSync monitor.

I found a source for some used cpu's and thought I would ask if this sounds like they would work 
ok. What I they have are 1.2 to 1.6 ghz speed with 10 to 20 gig hard drive, then 256 meg ram. They 
have winders 98 for now but that will change(nudge, nudge, wink, wink). They are only about a year 
and half old. They want $200 to $250 per box, this is without keyboard or monitor. Does that sound 
fair? Then I need a source for a used monitor cheap. My last Linux box I was using most of the 
devices in side as well as the monitor which was a small old one made set up and config a pain in 
the you know what so I am hoping one of these would be a much better machine to use. Any thoughts?
