old machines are cheap:
I find them all the time at garage sales.
I pay an average of $5 for a tower of any age.
Sometimes people just give them to me to get rid of them.
More often, they just throw them away.
Newegg sells reconditioned machines, usually with Windows 7
for 75 - 200$ and there are lots of other companies doing the same.

As for buying a retro machine, have you checked the prices lately? In
the past year alone a PII or PIII with one ISA slot has doubled in
price to an average of $300-400. I do have a couple of Compaq Armada
laptops that have awsome sound and also connect via PCMCIA netcard. I
am trying to get a working Desktop PC that is capable of running
FreeDOS and still will run Linux and/or Windows. It's an elusive
beast. :^)
