For $439 including shipping but not monitor, Dell will sell you a Vostro
200 desktop with XP Home, dual-core Pentium processor, 1 Gby RAM, CD/DVD
R/W, 160 Gby hard drive, 7:1 channel audio, etc. This includes one year
warranty and Next Business Day on-site service for a year.

One can easily increase the price by hundreds of dollars by choosing
other options, in which case the Vostro 400 series may be cheaper.
