You might find one like that for 500, but you will have to look very hard.

I have MSI Wind 100. Running 2 gigs of ram. Overclocked at 1.6ghz. It's a little beast for $350. I saw it at MicroCenter a month ago for $290. The cool thing about MSI is that they have a huge community of modders. And there are a ton of tutorials on just about any modification you ca think of.
