I can get a used Dell, HP or IBM for $50: 3 GHz Pentium 4 w/ 2 GB DDR
RAM, 80 GB HDD, Gigabit LAN + some motherboard w/ cheap onboard
graphics and sound card, PSU and case. It takes up more space, draws
more power and I guess it can't run 1080p smoothly, but it's not a bad
deal for the equivalent of USD 50.
