Used computers with enough to browse the internet can be picked up for under 200 bucks.. Even low end pentiums can get for under 100.. heck. I just gave away a Celeron 533 with 17" monitor.. It doesn't have to be anything fancy to get on the internet, and, then you would have to pay 10$ a month internet though.. for dialup
edit: well.. in Canada at least.. not sure what it would be like where you are

Originally posted by jamjamjoeCan't you just build a really low spec machine from second hand parts for now, then upgrade as and when you need to. If all you want to do is access RHP, then almost any machine will do, as long as you can install an internet browser on it.
