[Canada Computers] $299 Athlon 64 AM2 X2 5200+, RADEON X1200, 2GB DDR2 667, 250GB HDD, DVD-RW, 500W PSU
After waiting for the Acer Aspire deal to be restocked, I found this deal. It's not as good as the Acer deal, but the pros are that it's more than $100 cheaper and can support all video cards (unlike the Aspire). Downside is that there's no OS, no Blu-Ray, less memory/HDD. I could be wrong, but if it's using AM2, maybe the processor could be upgradable to a Phenom(?)
Edit: I'm assuming this thing has PCI-e, if it doesn't, it should be trashed and rightly so. But I can't pull up specs anywhere.
Could be a nice cheap gaming rig with a 4850/4870: $300+175 on BST = ~$500
As of the time of this post there are about 30-40 units in stock.
