Sourcing a max processor 233mhz

Can anyone point me in the right direction as I am attempting to source an old old PC !
I know it's a pretty strange request but what I require is:

A desktop PC with a max processor of 233mhz, preferably a Dell optiplex GX1 PII with 16MB RAM.

If anyone knows where these type of PC's could be sourced, I'd be very much indebted.
If possible, an unused old new PC (if you know what i mean) !!

Any prizes out there for "strangest request of the month" ??????

I have 1 each PII/233 and PII/266 slot 1 processors you can have for free (just pay postage) but I chucked the motherboards a few months ago. (in Australia). Email on my profile. A few slot 1 motherboards on Ebay for next to nothing. You can put the rest together easily.

I have a Dell Optiplex Gs+ that you can have for the cost of packing and shipping if you're in the US. It's not oldstock (new but unused), but it's in excellent condition. E-mail me (address in profile) if interested.

Thanks Simpswr, but a bit too high spec for me !

If you take simpswr's link to ebay, then add the "less than 400 Mhz" option as a filter, you'll get a lot closer to your spec. I found one item fairly close to your spec:
