We regularly hit RE*PC, a local computer recycler, and find excellent machines for low-end use. Just last week we got some HP-Vectra low profile desktop machines, PII-233, 4gb hard drive, 64MB RAM, and NIC for $70 each. They're great for routers, Linux desktops for newbies (hell, they're faster than many of our production Linux servers :-).
