RE: TI-H: BRIAN + GRANT read


I priced out a comp I might build this weekend.  It would cost me about
$860, and it would have:

Cyrix 6x85MX 233
64MB
4.3GB
Awesome motherboard with no jumpers!
24X CD
10/100 Ethernet card
120MB LS-120 floppy
3D, MPEG, 4MB S3 ViRGE vid card
16-bit, 3D full duplex sound
Intellimouse
keyboard
15" monitor
mid-tower case
120 watt speakers
x2 56k modem
Win98
RedHat 5

Now I just need to decide if I REALLY want to spend the money!

Sincerely,

Bruce
