I bought my old P4 computer for 75$ as a open box item that "didn't work" (IE wouldnt boot). I opened the case and looked inside. One of the drive cables was loose (hard drive i think)... Secured the cable and the computer worked fine. :) I was initially planning on buying a hard drive and setting it up and still having a really cheap computer, but in the end I didn't have to spend anything extra. ;D

I wonder if anybody really got one of those computers for this cheap or if the company decided to abort the sale/shipping?

0$ on an awful emachines t2042 that i pieced together from scraps. the monitor came from someone's grandparents (who were upgrading to an i7 with 8 gigs of ram and a TB hard drive XD), the keyboard and other peripherals from various places. a pci board for extra usb slots from an older computron that someone was tossing out, a hard drive and processor from yet another computer being tossed. extra RAM that was just laying around, and a tower from a police auction XD

2 gigs of RAM, 2.4 GHz, 8 gigHDD, and this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/doctorwho/9223/

I got most of my working computers for free, ranging from a P3 with (nearly) 512 MB to a Powermac 7100/66 (It can't run linux D:)

I have that same USB hub, and I love it.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

The first computer I got was for free too, but it was in 2004 and was a Pentium II 350 MHz with 128 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard drive at that time. It ran Windows 2000 (which was stable, but when it crashed it was over)

I get free computers all the time. Usually they don't work :P but I can fix that. Dead mobo? Good, this one over here has a dead PSU, and this one has no HD, etc. until I end up with n-1 computers :P

Now if only you lived close to me, you could fix my mom's laptop maybe? :P (Actually I think Juju might be able to, but I'm unsure, especially considering it's a laptop)

laptops are harder, depending on the problem. HDs and RAM are still fairly simple, but anything else internal becomes a massive hassle (excepting virus problems) because of specialized parts.

Any idea what's wrong with it?
