I've seen some new BIOS batteries for about $3 apiece, and might be able to get them cheaper. Any interest in me picking up a few? They also sell an automatic power supply tester with an lcd readout for around $30 if we thought that would be a good investment.
I forgot to leave off the diagnostic discs last time around, and will try to drop them by the shop when I get a chance.
