Hi,

Does anyone on the list know where I can 10 computers for cheap (no
monitors).  But my specs are

Pentium 3 or above (800MHZ min - nothing slower)
10gb minimum hdd (20gb would be nice)
Optical drive - preferred DVD rom if not cdrom is fine
network card - boot on lan would be nice
memory - 128MB mininum - 256 MB would be nice to begin with
USB is a must
2 expansion pci slots free min.
video - as long as it works fine in linux properly - should be able to get
1024x768 res. with good refresh rates - 3D I don't care about
keyboard/mouse and power cables
small size would be awesome

And it should work with windows xp/2000 (please no os bashing here).  I
need to be able to run all 3 oses properly (linux - Redhat rhel and SuSE
latest) should be able to run very smoothly - that is highly critical).

I am looking if anyone knows where I can get this all under $1200-$1400.
I saw ebay...but local would be nice - reburished or new ones - or know of
places where I can it done with this budget

AMD would be great - but I don't know which verison works with REDHAT RHEL
3.0.  - if the unit works great with RHEL 3.0 then I am all set.  Windows
compability is a must too.

Any suggestions/advice is highly appreciated on this matter.

And I need to donate about 10 boxes - know of places where I can get a
write off - how much should I claim for boxes with cpus in range of
200mhz.  The original price of the box?  I don't have the price slip.

Thanks everyone.

peace
