PC prices and dealers... beach: Nice computer, but I would suggest 2 changes: a GeForce 256 based video card (assuming you want to do serious gaming, otherwise the Voodoo is fine) and 128 megs RAM. Based on the config you gave, I'd think a fair price would be in the 800-900 range - not counting the monitor. Probably another 200-300 for the monitor assuming it's like all other entry-mid level 17 inchers. Dell is a pretty good provider, but I like shopping around. My favorite providers are Quantex (www.quantex.com), Gateway (www.gateway.com), Micron (www.micronpc.com), and IBM (www.ibm.com - love my ThinkPad). PIII-500 is pretty much high end entry level these days. (So says Sam from his aging Pentium 233. That's Pentium; no II or III after it. It's my kitchen computer, what do you expect? :-) ) Depending on budget, look at what you can get for $2K (decent mid to high end) and $3K (loaded high end). Sam
