cheapest way to get internet terminal only PC?
Please can someone point to me to the best supplier for this?
I just want a simple desktop PC to access the internet with, as cheap as possible, using it as a 2nd internet access terminal in the house. I can't seem to find anyone online who can supply something as basic as this: 1Ghz, 256MB memory, 20GB-ish disk, windows, wired LAN port, no monitor needed I can only find people selling 2GHzplus with DVD writers etc Is there someone out there who sells just low spec base units cheaply? (I already have wireless router, wired network, good main PC, spare keyboards, monitors, etc.) Thanks Keith |

Thanks, I'll look for those . I want to buy from a shop/vendor, not private small ads, and assumed that there'd be someone somewhere selling outdated PCs for this purpose.. Perhaps there's just no money in it though. |
