Idle question for all you oh-so-knowledgeable computer geeks

What's the cheapest that one can get a decent computer?

The IT department here was selling off some old computers for ten bucks apiece, but of course they ran out before my turn in line came, dammit. The professors got their pick before the staff. I'm not in urgent need of a computer, but I would like to upgrade one of these days. What are the least expensive options out there?

What isn't upgradable? If you mean nothing at all is upgradable, of course that's not true. And as far as I now, isn't true in regards to specifics either. Where did you hear that?!
