Replacement should be <$500 sans monitor (won't give up my CRT, no way).
And absolutely no Vista which excludes most lines. Anyone's got
experiences with these lines?

I.M.O. Dell and Compaq are utter thrash! For USD 500 you should be able to
get a generic PC with Athlon 64X2 (dual), 1 GB RAM, 500 GB disk and a decent
graphics card.

And a crash every hour. There is a reason why Dell and Compaq are more
expensive: quality! At work they bought 5 Acer PC's (against my
recommendation). It took 3/4 day (average) for each machine to get it
up and running and Acer had to come over 4 times to fix 2 machines.
