A post on the true story of a $179 computer from Fry's; total cost of everything with additional hardware ended up $366. Things get a lot cheaper when you don't pay for the operating system.

Of course, one link is obligatory for all Ubuntu n00bs: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org.

It basically installs all the stuff you don't get from the basic Ubuntu installer, including mp3-support, video codecs, flash plugin, etc...
