KNS 80486 Keyboard 486 Computer w/Hard Drive+FDD (Item number: 00255838149) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KNS-80486-Keyboard-486-Computer-w-Hard-Drive-FDD-Wow_W0QQitemZ200255838149QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200255838149&_trkparms=72%3A1300%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

Perfect for a minimal Linux install - or possibly replace with a micro/pico atx board

Definitely replace the guts if you buy it, but for nearly $300, that might just be a waste of money.  I would imagine you could find something like this for less than $100.  Otherwise, IMO, it would be just a nice piece of vintage hardware.  Just my opinion, though.

Reminds me of an Atari ST.

Yeah, or an Amiga or any of the Acorn/Archimedes A3xxx series

For that price, buy an Acer Aspire One instead!
