I used to LOVE building all my PC's, but when I moved to Kalispell Montana 10/2000 I ended up being able to buy one of these for a great price in 2001



PS.. I still have it, but Not For Sale in the spare bedroom closet [lol]

Maybe some of the gold plating 'on things inside' is worth more than I paid?
