How about this? I decided to let you recycle your monitor, keyboard, NIC, and
speakers, and set this little multimedia rockstar up for you:
$163.00 AMD Athlon XP2800 333 MHz FSB
$146.00 2 sticks PC3200 DDR 512 Mb
$84.00 Asus A7N8X Mobo (has onboard LAN and Sound not supported by
Mandrake yet) otherwise its a totally rockin' board.
$176.00 Seagate Cheetah 73.4Gb SCSI 10000RPM
$31.00 Samsung 12xDVD/40xCD
$45.00 Mitsumi 54x-32x-54x CDRW
$158.00 Geforce 4 4400Ti 8xAGP
$82.00 Creative SB Audigy2- 6.1
$885.00 Total
You will need a SCSI card for this system that is not in this quote.
I build up a system with a XP2100, 512 Mb, GeForce 440Mx, and SBLive Card on
the A7N8X, and it rocks, and cost me about $550. This is a higher end dream
system that I would like to own. But I doubt that my wife would let me buy
it.
