If you insist on intel, here's another deal: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HP7955 (add 256 meg ram chip) original article for this one is more recent: http://dealnews.com/articles/36533.html and yet another, older offer: http://www.computersurplusoutlet.com/viewproduct.asp?ProductID=COM-P41746 from: http://dealnews.com/articles/34695.html (only comes with 64M ram, hah) oh yah, you want to find a cheap monitor to go along... (I think it's much cheaper to buy them separately, if you find a great-seeming deal like these where it's not bundled) also see pricewatch.com, for cheapest deals on random mail-order suppliers.... use a credit card's built-in buyers insurance. (ie, you are somewhat protected from getting ripped-off just by ordering with a credit card) Good luck, Ben! One friend just spent her tax return on one of the cheapy HP AMD systems and it's pretty impressive (tho XP runs horribly on it, but the system processes fast), but on ANY of these cheap systems the mobo is not as ripping-fast as a more expensive mobo; ie they waste memory bandwidth with their sloppy timings, etc. You could alternatively choose to spend more on a better-quality system that runs at a slower clock-speed. That's basically how I feel about eMachines across the board, except that I have had bad enough experience to suggest agsainst them... Celerons in general have the "feel" of a significantly slower system. Catcha later... let us know how its going. ben b On Thu, 2002-06-13 at 11:47, Benjamin Huot wrote: > Where can I get this custom computer configuration for Linux from a reputable vendor? > > Intel Celeron > 512 MB RAM > 32 MB video card > sound card > 10 GB hard drive > CD-ROM burner > 17 inch monitor > black and white laser printer > install Mandrake Linux Power Pack > set up DSL > make sure everything works > 90 day technical support > > Landscapes of the Mind > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
