A few days ago I was doing a random search on Craigslist for computers that cost $30 or less. One of the results was an Acer Chromebook that had a damaged Chrome OS install for $25.
I picked it up today and once I was home downloaded the restore image on another computer, wrote the image to a USB drive, restored the image and updated the OS within 30 minutes or so. It looks like it has been well taken care of.
How is Chrome OS? If you like Chrome you'll feel right at home. It's different just like any other operating system. I recall when I bought my first Mac - a Centris 610 - it took about a week to get the hang of it.
This particular one is a C710 with SO-DIMM slots and a 320GB hard drive. It's nice to have that much storage space despite Chrome OS not needing it.
