These have a real parallel port on them and would be good for a CNC machine using Mach3 with one of the dirt-cheap parallel interfaces.

I actually bought one of these from them Discount Electronics a while back.  They had been putting some old version of Windows on them and selling for $100 - but if you asked, they'd sell you one for $50 without the OS.  They come from point-of-sale terminals and have a weird form-factor for fitting under a desk.  Judging by the stickers left on the back, the one I had evidently came from a Cinemark movie theater ticketing desk.

These have roughly the capability of a RaspberryPi - but in a slightly larger form factor!  :-)

But I guess if you need something with a parallel port - it might not be a bad choice.
