I suggest you talk to some late teen to 20-something ***** geeks and see what you can't drum up. It's the HMT way to go...

Download one of the TinyXP iso's from thepiratebay, rev3 IIRC uses 65 megs of RAM and uses only a handful of processes. Immediately install a boutique of anti-spyware softwares scheduled to run automatically, and a software firewall like ZoneAlarm. You should be fine.

you can get a pretty damn good tower from best buy for less than $700. just dont buy any of the extended warranties and dont buy any of the antivirus/spyware they try to sell you. take it off the shelf and go.

hell, you can even buy a pretty good package deal for like 800 with a printer, flat lcd, key board, and mouse.

or get some cheap laptop.
