Trolling ebay for computers: Chips ahoy!

[Bill Day]

I would consider TigerDirect route as well... I have been fairly pleases
with items I have gootne from there.

For example: last issue or this one, they had a LindowsOS(of course
removable) with 20Gb HDD Athlon 1.3GHz, NIC, etc...  for like $229...  didnt
get into it to deep for components wise.. but its seemed like a hell of a
deal..(no monitor, came with keyboard, mouse and speakers, nothing fancy)
