I see reasonably priced REVOs on trademe from time to time. By
reasonably priced I mean <$500. I got a 2nd hand one for $430.00 late
last year. It is an R3700 so dual core, 2G ION2. Works much nicer and
speddily through the menus than my other R1600 (single core ION1).

There also a lot of people trying to flog the same machine for $8-900,
which seems extorionate. Maybe new whereas mine was slightly second
hand, but brand new condition.
