I'm almost done building a BP6 system myself. The MB was $135, the celeron 400's were $55 each (retail with fans) and I picked up two 8.4 gig HD's (5400) for $45 each. Plus the LS-120 drive I kept for myself. I'm going to make it dual boot NT/Linux and add it to my home network. NT will be on one disk, Red Hat linux on the other. This will be my fun (means experimental) machine where I program on as well. Hooked up to my network it'll go out to the internet through my cable modem. I've been very lucky over the last 6 months or so and have slowly picked up parts at dirt cheap prices. I keep old systems and just hook them all up to my network. I also redid my Linux system into a Win98 system for my daughter. I believe in purchasing my software and the machine it replaced had W95 with W98 upgrade. I decided to just install my W98 full onto the new one and keep the W95 and W98 disks with it in case the Microsoft police ever show up <grin>. My old one's going to be a linux machine as well. At least linux is free. Michael
