My cheapo ebay PC came with XP installed. It seems that an old PC
with XP on it actually sells cheaper than Xp itself!

Ah ha! So as long as I have installation media (first thing with an
Ebay PC would be to completely reinstall it) I should be able to get a
legit, cheap XP PC, though I might end up replacing fans etc. to make
it quiet enough. Since it will be in the living room and on all the
time it *has* to be quiet.
