A proposal, "pae's TS-Horse", presented for the thread's amusement: I've attempted to attach real prices to gauge the intermediate pain of these efforts. I suspect the final pain will not be paid until 3am some morning while growling at PNP-bios turf battles. Product Description Product ID Price Amount ENERMAX CS-888BX ATX MIDE TOWER CASE 231Watt Noise Killer $ 64.95 Toshiba 32X SCSI Internal CDRM-TOSH-32-06 $ 112.95 Pentium-MMX 233MHz Retail w/CPU Fan (3 Yr Warr) (2) $ 469.90 TEAC 1.44 Floppy FLOP-TEAC-14-01 $ 27.95 Mounting Bracket for Floppy 3.5 inch $ 4.95 QUANTUM 3240S 3.2GB Ultra SCSI $ 256.95 3.5 inch Hard Drive Mounting Kit $ 3.99 64MB 168 Pin ECC SDRAM MEMS-XSDR-EC-02 (4x64=256) $ 735.80 Tyan S1564D - 512K Cache (Dual P5-AT-430HX) $ 164.95 ADAPTEC 2940UW (OEM) SCSI-ADAP-29-02 $ 179.95 DIAMOND STEALTH Video 2500, 1MB (4) $ 143.80 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 WorkStation (OEM with System) $ 179.95 Priced thru www.paragoncomp.com Subtotal: $ 2346.09 Add 4 Viewsonic Optiquest Q71 17" .28 mprii 4x359 1436 grand total 3782 Plus a UPS... Plus a 10baseT card... (do I lose a PCI slot?) Plus adding a couple of 20amp circuits to my office... Plus whatever else I forgot! :-) I hear the 430hx doesn't have the 64m cache limit problem. I'm going with the NT and multiple video PCI cards rather than big bucks for the multi-mon card. I'm considering this a starting point, a work-in-progress. Purpose of the box is to run TradeStation4.0 server and charting and news modules. All comments welcome, from better prices to be had, to better components, to missing components. (I did not over-research the bios issue, I think SOMETHING comes with the MB ...) Cheers!
