"p.s. And Pomp, since we're already at less than $1400 for this configuration, change my estimated date to September 1, 2001." If this was Survivor, I would now pick Aug. 31st.....but I won't. I stand by my original pick.

Dave, 256MB will be standard for $1,000 computers before summer. 10G hard drive is already too small. CDR/W is already standard in that price range. You are describing a $600 computer. Scumbria

Contest Update....The "final" minimum specs and current estimates by the learned panel * P4 (probably a 1.3G, but we don't really care about the speed). * 128M RDRAM * 56K Modem * 10G Hard drive (minimum) * CD-ROM drive * 17" monitor * Video card (don't care about specs) * Sound card and speakers * Windows (some version) * Don't care about any other bundled apps * 3 yrs warranty on parts and labor; on-site repair not required And the Estimates are: Richard Surckla, July 4, 2001 Stuart Steele, August 4, 2001 Dave B. September, 1, 2001 Mohamed Saba, October 9, 2001 Capt. Rocky, Nov 13, 2001 TimeToMakeTheInvs, Nov 15, 2001 Gene Parrott, November 23, 2001 Pompsander Nov. 23, 2001 Barry Grossman Dec 3, 2001 All above entrants are locked into these dates to avoid unfair "jockeying" for position. New entrants, however, may still guess until Midnight, Monday March 5th at which time the final tally will be frozen. Carl, Dan3 and Scumbria have not yet been heard from on the question....and where is Unclewest?
