While I do understand the "you get what you pay for" idea, but it's just older technology that isn't worth much compared to the newer technology.
I don't think paying $100 for something that doesn't need a lot of processing power would be "cheap" in a sense of quality. The hard drives in them, on the other hand, is something that I wouldn't go cheap on. I'd get a good quality hard drive for sure.
I just don't see this as being "cheap".
Chipset: Intel E7500/E7501
Two (2) Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz single-core processors (2400DP, Dual Processors)
1 GB DDR266 Registered ECC memory (supports up to 8 GB)
60 GB IDE hard drive
Controller: dual-channel master mode
System bus: 400 MHz/533 MHz Front Side Bus
No optical drive
No floppy drive
ATI Rage XL graphics controller
Dual Fast Ethernet LAN
Four (4) cooling fans built-in
Granted I would use that 60GB IDE hard drive to run the operating system, then get an SATA PCI card with a large 1TB+ SATA hard drive for the backup storage.
The price on them are relatively cheap, at $70 plus shipping.
