500 MHz "Geode" CPU, 256 Meg RAM, 40 Gig notebook HD - $285

Being kind, I think a "geode" CPU would feel like a similarly-clocked P3 CPU, and the 256 Meg RAM is not expandable, forcing this to be an embedded/special-purpose system - the Intel mini-ITX board is very expandable, and runs at about 25-35 watts (based on my review of various sites, including an HD and 512 Meg RAM).

Still, for special needs, the fit-PC is a great tool...
