Zeus, I am building a system fairly cheaply. I bought an AMDk6 III 450 MHz with a Jet motherboard, case and power supply for about $200 from Egghead auction. I don't really like the board, it has built-in video and audio, but no AGP slot for future. But I can live with that for now. I also bought a 128MB DIMM for $150, 8Gig Seagate for $110, floppy and CD-ROM, $15 and $32. Using a monitor I already have, and Win95. A pretty fast system for $500. It is not a game machine, so graphics and sound are not much of a concern. One thing I was not aware of was that when installing WIN95 on AMD >= 350 MHz, a patch is needed. I was able to get that from a local shop. So far, so good. RayF
