I find where I am (Philly PA US), PIII's can be had for free, if you're willing to wait several weeks until an opportunity comes up. If you want one to play with right away, you can find one for sale very cheaply.

Define "cheap". I can find them for $40 and up, but to me that's too much for a ~750 MHz box, especially a no-name off-brand one. I think $25 is plenty, and that's about the max I figure I can spend. A freebie PIII would be wonderful, but I sure can't find them.

My personal definition of cheap for a PIII machine is about $30 or less, so I think we're on the same page in that regard.

I can imagine that in less densely populated area, like Nebraska, it might be harder to find. Even compared to the entire state of Delaware, the Philadelphia Craigslist listings are about 20-30 times more numerous.
