for $150. thoughts?  I'm not really a hardware expert.

Not bad.  The only downside are the graphics - they aren't going to run "the pretties" in Windows 7, should you ever choose to go that route, which means you get ugly mode instead.  Need at least GMA945/950 for that.  It'll probably drive some eye-candy in Linux though, which if price is your concern, I'm assuming you're going with that or a leftover copy of XP anyway.

Still I feel like you might be able to do better at that price point.
