Putting together working gear by assembling disparate parts you get from electronic rubbish is free.

I did it for a time for a school here in Paraguay, producing one working machine out of the wrecks of three or four old PCs given to the school by commercial businesses that had been upgrading their HW.

And installing Linux (Mandrake 6.2 at the time) so the little dears could not bugger the installed OS...

Cost: my time...

Cheers,
