Cheap Computers for EQ?

If you were to buy around 5 computers to play eq (run macros) to hook up to a DSL line what would you buy (limited $$)?

Personally, I would try to stay cheap, as well as keep some functionality and the ability to upgrade them into better rigs should the need arise.

AMD 1.4 T-bird w/mobo (bout $120)
on board video
on board sound
256 mb ddr ($50)
10 gig hdd 7200 rpm($40)
Generic case and psu ($50)

Most mobo's have onboard lan, if not throw in another 15 bucks for a NIC card.

I know on board graphics suck, but since these rigs are for macro'n purposes only it should sufice. Of course, you can always upgrade to a Gefo 2 for around 50 dollors and see considarable improvemeant. The mono's you can pick up refurbished for fairly cheap and the O.S. is free if you already have a copy.

Just my 2 cents

I run a 700mhz amd with 512 megs of ram and a 128 meg nvidia card. It runs at about 30ish FPS. For one account I would say its cool but if you want to play two go for at least a 1ghz.
