...are getting stupidly low. My sister's laptop crashed and burned on her, and being short on cash, she wanted me to build her a desktop to replace it:
T-bird 850
Asus A7V133
Soundblaster PCI 128
Amplified speakers
keyboard and mouse
128 MB Crucial PC133
52X CD-ROM
20 Gig Fujitsu HD
Floppy
Cheap Sis 8MB Video AGP
56k V.90 PCI Modem
Generic enclosure with Sparkle 300W PS.
Good little net/business machine (which is what she wanted).
Total cost? $500. Unbe-freaking-lievable, considering it would have been double that 8 months ago.
BTW, Crucial has some of the best prices I've seen lately on all RAM, and they've got the free 2nd day air through 9/10.
