I bought one around a month ago for $299! Took it back and got a 1.8G
Pentium 4 - 40 Gig HD, and extras for $499. Now have 1.1 Gig of memory
and 100 Gigs of HD space. Bought thismachine specifically so I could
run my Amiga OS and software on it - althought with my 060/50 PPC 233
Mhz Amiga things are pretty quick.

For $199 it's pretty hard to go wrong. Except that the OS ThizLinux -
well to me it is lacking in a lot - but then I am used to my Amiga -
just don't like the OS - that's why I ordered Mandrake 8.2.

However they do have a 24x12x40 CD-RW deive - $20 after rebate and a
12xCD-ROM drive $20 after rebate - and I could use some help in
getting these installed.

15" flat display - $250 after rebate - and a 60 GIG HD - $65 after
rebate - and a Linksys Ethernet card - $0 after $10 rebate. - open
today - 9-6 - prices only in effect today.
