Building a P133? You should be able to get that for free. ------------------ Nice guys finish last ... and im surely not going to finish last!

You can also get cheap refurbished computers at Traders Village. There are several vendors out there who buy old computers at corporate auction, refurbish them, then sell them dirt cheap. One of the dealers (Alan?) is very reputable. (I had a friend that worked with him.) ------------------ Stay Cool...
these 2 have good prices and nice informative websites www.axiontech.com www.directron.com both are in the SW part of town though ------------------
I've bought from Directron and they're a pretty good company and have fairly cheap prices. I've never bought from Axiontech, but their reputation among "'Net shoppers" is pretty good. ------------------ "I was arrested for sexual assault involving an elderly man and I was out in 35 minutes." -- Achebe - programmer by day, geriatric ass grabber by night.
