worked out to be fairly inexpensive. Right now I'm pricing out a new system
to replace our old Athlon 750 MHz that recently died.
Between Pricewatch.com, and eBay you can build a fairly cheap kickass
system. I also found the BuildIt section of ExtremeTech.com's site
(http://www.extremetech.com/category2/0,1556,644478,00.asp) to be really
helpful. They had a great series of articles on building high performance
machines for under $1500 (They have a great article on building an $800
killer PC).
