eMachine, I'd say. Just stop over at Best Buy, they're always running killer specials on them. I got my son a new one for school a month or so ago - tower, monitor, printer, keyboard, mouse, after the mail ins, was 300 bucks. And it's not a piece of shit.
Then you set yourself up as the administrator, make a user account for the kid. Disallow anything but what you want them to see or have on there. My son can't install anything and he can't change the list of urls that I let him go to either, since those are admin privileges. No IE for him either, Firefox for browsing and Opera for mail.
