CAGiversary!
I kinda wanna play more with Linux and the various distros (and try my hand at programming again!), so I want a really really cheap workstation that I can screw around with. And I kinda want something that's 32-bit.
I had an old computer set up, but the motherboard was faulty. It killed 3 hard drives already and would sometimes not boot, so I assumed it had bad capacitors.
Of course, I've taken a look at the build-a-PC thread already, and I did use it to build a system for a media center... but I wanna build one for even cheaper. Somewhere around $150, preferably.
Is there any way to get very cheap parts from last-gen?
