Pastimes : Dream Machine ( Build your own PC ) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I saw a 7.2GB Maxtor ultra IDE at Best Buys advertised this weekend for $179 (after $30 rebate). Swap that and pay for shipping. Missing the famous sound card. I'd want to look into the 120 mb floppy (?125 vs 25?). Personally, I'd double the RAM. BTW, the NT monitor shows my virtual memory usage peaked at 120MB. That's typical for me. You omitted monitor on purpose, right? If this replaces an existing system, makes sense unless you need a new one. FINALLY those are coming down too. Is the monitor included in your $2500 Presario price? If so, not a valid comparison. Software too. So for comparative purposes (as opposed to an upgrade price), perhaps not quite as unbalanced as 998/2500 would suggest. Still a lot better deal, though. Who needs TV with this for entertainment?
