Not to burst your bubble, but compgeeks.com has them for $37 (and less):

I got mine for $20 at a thrift shop. I agree, but still, my attitude has become (due to
years of dealing with
windows and the declining quality of PC hardware), that you can spend
$3000 on a PC, or you can spend $300 on a PC, and they are both going to
work (quality/stability wise) about the same.
And CompGeeks has a great line of refurb-ish PCs (HP, eMachine,
etc.) for about $200-$250 each, minus an OS. Very nice,
and just as disposable as more expensive machines when they break.
As for cameras for photographing your collection, I vote
for getting a good one with a lot of memory. More pixels
means more opportunity to crop and zoom. Add a big memory
card and it's so groovy for documenting a new find before
you rip it apart. Just shoot, shoot, zoom, shoot.
Shoot at max res and five years from now you'll be able
to read the labels on the ROMs.
I really like my Olympus C-2500. As a true SLR, I know
what I see will be what I get.
