Anyone know where i can get a computer with just the basics for like around $100? I want a Linux box, and I dont intend to be doing all that much on it. I just need something to run Linux, and a GUI, and have it run rather smooth.

So really I dont need anything fancy. If you guys know where I can get a computer like this, or even if oyu guys have an idea of where i can buy the parts to build my own, it would help me a ton, becuase i am really in the dark here.

Thanks-

Mike
