One thing that cracks me about Bare Bones is that it varys as to what vendors mean.

Some come with everything except CPU.
some don't have CPU & HDD
some don't have CPU/HD/CD-ROM

Read carefully.

[Richard Cranium]

Check w/NewEgg on all the above, they've dropped prices on CPU's and have a Foxconn 300w case that is AMD approved.

I assume this is a "seller" unit.

If so, you can save a bit by dropping to a 1600 XP

An update: Have been down for a few days with a bug and not willing to commit to any decisions.

Thanx for the list of stores, and for the ideas.

The system is for personal use this time, not for re-sale. (with the prices I am seeing I am thinking about that seriously).

As stated, I will be back with what I can find out, maybe tommarrow night.

I would like to thank you guys for helping him out with this. He really felt bad, when he realized that it had been several days, and he had not checked up on this thread.
