Any suggestions for a cheap monitor also?
What are the specs of the machine? Don't these machines get shipped with a distro of Linux? I am thinking Lindows or RedHat?
If it has a 15 or 20 gig drive you should be good to go for playing around in a development environment. Any particular type of development?
