I'm looking for an inexpensive iMac for a retired couple I know. I thought I had found one on the Baucom Computers website for $195 but it appears that they are still checking on parts for it and won't have anything definite as to whether it is ready for sale for a week. 

I thought I should ask this group if anybody knows of any for sale. The couple has given me a limit of $250 for finding one (which would also include the purchase of a USB cable to go to the printer, which they have).

The iMac on the Baucom Computers website is one of the 333mHz tray loading ones and has 96mb of ram. If I can end up buying this one, the total for it would be $238 which would include upgrading the memory to 128mb. ($195 for the iMac, $14 for the memory upgrade, and $29 for shipping). 

Please, please let me know if there's a better or equal iMac for sale that I can squeeze into their $250 budget. I doubt I'll get another chance to look for a computer for them because they aren't very willing to spend the money necessary to get something that would meet their needs.
