Now that's a true parts computer.   This one is 90% intact.  The
hard drive died (it was originally an IBM Death^H^H^H^H^HDeskstar drive -
now you know why IBM isn't making drives anymore :) and I slapped a Maxtor
in it.  It died, and I have something else in it...I believe a WD from
somewhere.  The NIC, display card are all part of the OEM setup.  This was
one of the last decent systems Dell built, except for the dumb-as-rocks
decision to use RAMBUS RAM on this system.  MAN, that stuff is /expensive/.
 So it sticks with 256MB RAM.

I was at Wal-Mart tonight (I normally don't go there, but they opened the
second supercenter in town very close to my place).  There was an eMachines
3.2ghz, loaded, for $298.  Just couldn't believe the price.

Later,
Sean
