ok, if you throw in a 20gig drive, floppy, cd-rom, cheap sound card, cheap lan card, mouse, keyboard, cheap speakers, and an OS like win98, which you can get it for about ten bux if you look for em'. Then you can actually sell that system for 200-250, and you can always remeber to ask around for junk stores
and yea, chapmc is right, us techies would rather buy something else than just buy something that works good. Just like me, two day ago I bought a laptop for $50, has a Pentium2 runs at 300mhz, has 96megs of ram, came with an internal cd-rom, internal floppy, external floppy, the D-link Ait I'm selling and a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet, which I have to just buy the cable for

Not too shabby for just a meere $50 eh?
