Hi Stephen
in many regards wanting an inexpensive computer and wanting to do video
editing are mutually exclusive.
nevertheless basic machines will have power enough to do some video
editing even if its not able to throw around huge files and edit them in
real time.
an 8 year old machine should have no problems connecting to broadband
assuming a network card and ip/adsl router plus software to support it.
if you are using said ip/adsl router, most likely it will 'just work' if
you attach it and set it for dhcp.

some reasonable specs.
Where can I get an inexpensive (I think it will have to be Linux) computer?
Or how can I get some broadband connectivity on 8 year old x86
architecture? (even if it's not Linux Compatable)
