Are you really wanting an Atari PC, or will any old PC do?
If its any help, an old 386 will sell for around £20 these days ( Yes, full systems - likely without a screen though )
I know this because I am building a Linux Cluster out of just old PC machines, ( 386 / 486 / 586 and a couple of 686's and a K6/2 ) and so far, its running about 20 times faster than an Athlon 1GHZ. ( Thats quite possibly true ! )
But, keep your eye out in old skips etc, or ask nicely at a local PC shop.
I do! - I have not paid for any 386 machine to date, and I have more than 40 of the sods
I do a lot of trading with field electric in devon, and they do fairly good quality machines for next to nothing, so you could give them a bell.
