Default Cheap NetBook?

Is there a place online where you can buy a NetBook for less than $300?

Maybe $200?

I got one of those 10" ones with XP and decent specs (1.6Ghz / 1Gb RAM / 160Gb HDD), but it was almost double that. Also it broke in less than a year and I'm in the process of getting it replaced on warranty, but I was very happy with it while it worked.

I started shopping for Netbook and ended up buying Sony Vaio Z710.
I never had better machine in my life. Just a bit bigger than netbook, powered like a desktop, crisp sharp and high resolution - 13.3" @ 1600x900 pixels.
Officially downgradable to Windows XP - love it! Expecting free delivery of Windows 7 any day now.
SONY Z models are the only laptops that are actually made in Japan (all other brands and models are proudly manufactured in china).
This is my portable mobile business empire.

Sorry for not answering your question

woot.com occasionally has some of the linux variant ones for ~$150. Today they have an eMachine desktop without a monitor for $200.
