I've really become a Buy.com convert over the past month, what with checking their Weekly Deals and all. I've found that they have great stuff on sale, plus their prices are usually better than Amazon.com, which had been my No.1 online store for years. $349 is not bad at all — especially with XP on it still!

They have 80gb hard drives, and work really well. Both my sons and I have them and we love them. They are great machines. The only upgrades we have done is to install new graphics cards and more RAM, but what they come with is good enough for internet and most basic programs. We are all gamers, so upgrading the graphics and RAM was a need for us, but before I did that to mine which is just a little over 2 years old now, it worked awesome. Neither myself or my teenage sons have had any problems with them, they work great. Just an idea for a cheap and reliable computer if you end up wanting to shop for one. :) Buy.com has ACER brand computers with XP on them still, for as little as $349.
