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.
