    Hmm, not bad. But before you click "buy", consider that for $60 (plus maybe shipping) you can get one from HP with Vista Home Basic and 40 GB less hard drive space.

    I'd go for the woot, but hey, some people like cheap licenses of Mircosoft's latest OS, probably ought to mention that the woot doesn't come with one.

    Then Dell has the Vostro 200 with the same specs as the HP non-woot for $394, except 2.2 Intel processor and XP instead of Vista. I'd probably go for that of the three simply for the cheap XP (and I'm pretty sure the AMD/Intel difference is larger in desktops than laptops), but this certainly isn't a bad woot.
