For $975 I just got all of this:
Abit BE6-II PowerUp $133.00
Celeron 566 + Heatsink/Fan + Slotkit PowerUp $230.00
(tested to 850)
128mb PC133 DIMM PowerUp $126.00
Creative Labs X-Gamer Retail Comp-U-Plus $68.00
Maxtor 30.7 GB U-66 7200rpm HD Comp-U-Plus $191.00
Mitsumi 1.44 FD Comp-U-Plus $9.00
Pioneer DVD-115 16x DVD HyperMicro $160.00
Case - In-Win S500 Axiontech $57.95
Granted, there is no video card there (I already have an TNT2 Ultra) and no
monitor (I already have a 19" Optiquest V95), but those two things wouldn't
add more than $600-700 or so to the price.
And I'll actually be running that Celeron at 952, not 850. So I'll have close
to a gig's worth of performance for a heckuva lot less than a 1 gig Athlon or
similar PIII.
