Looking for a Cheap New Computer?

Bill Palmer reissued his post on looking for a sub-$500 computer. It's worth the read. I've done the same thing he did in his research and had the same results. Yesterday I was at Gateway.com. I configured a computer and had about $650. When I got to the next page it showed $785, and NOTHING was selected on that next page! The fact is that the eMac is the cheapest useful computer on the market. Period.
