http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=1731328&cat=3951&type= 1&dept=3944&path=0%3A3944%3A3951 $499 for a box with 256MB, 40GB and a 1.4 Athlon. It's not a stellar deal, but it's not bad. They have a 1Ghz celeron model for $399 also. Here's their big mistake.... When you view the item, it doesn't show a list of the OS's you can buy from them to put on it. It would be nice if the just had a list of different OS's that they sell so you could add the item to your cart, and then add the OS of your choice also. The average person buying a machine from wal-mart is probably going to be somewhat clueless about what else they need.
