          JakeR -

          Don't want to burst you bubble, but if you look at pricewatch.com you can get this.

          Barebones Athlon system - $ 299
          ATI Radeon DDR - $75
          Maxtor 40GB ata 100 drive - $90
          PC133 512Mb ram - $ 75

          Total price $539. Granted you have to buy from a couple of different spots, but if you look you could probably get them all from one place for less than $600 including shipping. You would then also have a full warranty. Of course you didn't mention a sound card, which I assume there is one, a SB Live would bump the price up another $100 or so. So my advise would be to check out pricewatch and spec out a system that is an exact match to what you have, then you can decided if its a good deal

                  Wait, it's only a 200Mhz computer. Could definately put something together much much faster for the same price.

                      misterwalrus, that is the front side bus, 200mhz is decent, considering most Intel machines have 133mhz bus.

                      JakeR, for $875 you are getting a great deal!
                      That ATI Radeon video card alone is $250. And that motherboard looks very upgradeble.

                      I would buy that in a heartbeat.

                          good deal.. Ive bought 3 pc's from UBID.. you have to be carful. They are all refurbished.. I had to get rid of one that had memory problems.. Dank curretnoy owns it now.. But in general they are ok place to buy from only if you have to..

                          The computer is good, but the place you are buying from is risky.

                              boneprone, did your pc's come with any warranties? i think this one has a 90 day warranty, which is pretty shitty

                                  Im not sure.. I was pissed. I should have boxed the heavy thing back up and had em fix it.. Instead I just gave it to dank.

                                  He wont know the difference.
