How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk?

In today's money (inflation adjusted)

I guess I went to a well funded public school... In 1984-5 we had a whole bunch of apple ][s so we had an hour or so per week of programming in basic- I had a commodore 64 at home so I could do the classwork in the first 5-10 minutes, then spend the rest of the time playing with it to see what it could do...
