The retail giant began selling the US$200 machines on 31 October, but has already sold out, according to its website.
The Everex TC2502 gPC is thought to be the first mass-market US$200 desktop computer featuring a custom distribution of Ubuntu Linux.
The PC joins a popular bevy of entry-level computers heading into the US festive season, including Asus' US$300 EeePC Laptop and VIA's US$600 Nanobook.
In contrast to these economy offerings, Everex's machine is a full-sized desktop and is US$100 cheaper than the cheapest models from Dell or HP.
"It is US$200 with no gimmicks or subsidies," said Everex spokesman David Liu.
Described by Everex as a "green" machine, the gPC has a 1.5GHz VIA C7 CPU embedded in a Mini-ITX motherboard, 512MB of Ram and an 80GB hard drive.
