Some companies dump all their computers at once (either by upgrading on a fixed N-year cycle or by going out of business); these machines occasionally show up as large lots of refurbished equipment at certain internet stores. (The store presumably didn't pay a lot.) If you're looking for basic and cheap, you should at least consider it.
makethetick is right, though - give a location. I seem to recall that http://www.mr-at.nl/ occasionally had such lots (I'm not affiliated and in fact never bought anything there), but I'm not sure they still do and it wouldn't be very useful to you unless you were in the Netherlands.
