One that doesn't have Windows preinstalled: if you need Windows you can use your old OEM disk, though installing Windows is harder than installing SuSE - that will save a lot and let you buy the hardware you need. I got one a few days ago from www.savastore.com, though you may want a more local vendor: MSI6533+GEforce4MX440+EIDE HD+LG DVDreader+Floppy, plugged my old cards, monitor, CDRW in and installed. Apart from a few minor problems with APIC and BIOS PnP everything was fine. JDL
