Not much difference anymore between Athlon prices and Celeron - so I'd go with an AMD Athlon! Just bought a barebox Athlon 2400+ about 6 weeks ago for next to nothing, had one 15 gig IBM hd serving as a paperweight, CD burner and DVD in my box (which I split: burner went into the new one), and took network card and floppy drive out of the retired box... READY: a new-ish computer for under $300! And once the hd gets full new ones will be cheaper (again), and a second or third hd is always good for lazy backups!
