Depending on the model, hardware speed and capacity of disk drives, and type of software you use. They should be around USD$400-500. Most likely, they will not be the most advanced machines, but I am sure they can do most of the work typically required at home like presentations,project research,email and web Surfing. However, if you need more than that, like good home entertaining system and play games, as well as edit movies, it could be as high as USD $1000 or more inclusive of software listed below. Choice of software make difference. For example, Windows, you need about $100 USD for Vista Home Basic and more for other advance versions such as Vista Home Premium (Similar to Windows XP Media Center Edition, only it is her upgrade.). Mac OS X - Good for editing movies and images and home entertainment system if you do not like Microsoft for any reasons - Virus, high system Requirements etc where Mac user will not face these problems in general, cost about $125 USD for the piece of software but limited availability of the choice of games. Linux on the other hand, this software usually free. Yes $0 and freedom of usage even though there are paid versions (Less than $100) for various technical support,manuals and other advantages. However, they generally could not play as much games as Windows too. Neither do they make a good movie editors and home entertainment systems despite their ability to play almost all types of music like other systems mentioned above.
