I want to install Ubuntu on a basic low-end system.

I have Ubuntu running on 2 of these systems:
Everex TC2502 Green gPC Via C7-D Processor

But these are not available any more.
Can you recommend any other basic low-end systems below $200 ?

Don't want refurbished hardware.
Don't want bare-bones hardware where I need to add Memory, Disks, etc.

Just a basic system ready for the Ubuntu install.

Maybe something like an Everex gPC3 from newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883118008)?

If you did want to pay a bit more, you could get one of these little guys:

Here's another little box on Newegg for 199:
