you might be able to pick up a refurbished one at compaq for that if not 
less??  My father used to work as a trainer in thier tech and cust support 
divisions.  What you might do is call thier compaq works outlet and get a 
quote for a refurbished aero.  If you call the 800 directory and ask for 
houston, Ask for the number to Compaq Works @ I45 and West Road.  I live 
three miles from thier corp headquarters in Houston and I know some of the 
info Compaq Works might give you could be a valuable asset in the future.  If 
you have any further questions related to compaq PC's let me know and maybe I 
can help??  If need be you can always call me @ home 281-251-3401.
Hope you find a solution.
