I have a computer that I bought in January 2008 used from IT at the college where I teach. They swap out the desktops about once a year. It has a bad hard drive. I didn't get it fixed because they had another sale in August, so I just bought another used one.
PM me if you are interested.
Gateway 4100:
Pentium 4 – 2.6 GHz
15” flat panel monitor
256 MB Memory
40GB Hard Drive
DVD, CDRW, and floppy drive
Keyboard, mouse, and speakers

The only apps I use on the beach computer are OpenOffice (free) and a browser. The 256K RAM is plenty fast for that. If someone is installing Office 2007, they'll need at least 2GB.
The used one I just bought for the beach has 1GB RAM, 40GB hard drive. Don't need a boatload of RAM since I'm not paying for Office 2007 when I can get OpenOffice and AVG free. Besides, I always bring my laptop which is loaded.😀
You're welcome re the free box.:wave:

Put XP SP3 on it. That will test your patience. Of course it would have to work for that to happen.
