Jason ,
You can get the parts here in town and build almost same machine except you can get a 20 gig hard drive and 52x cd rom and use a isa modem for around 450.00
750 mhz duron , 8 meg ati card , 20 gig wd drive udma 66 <--New , 128 meg pc 133 ram Biostar mother board that supports both duron and athlon up to 1.3ghz
52 x cd rom isa 56 v.90 will work with all distro mother board has usb and sound card , floppy case , surrond speaker key mouse , and this place is on town open to public. do some checking not bad for the same price you can go to a 950 mhz duron that would kick some serious A*$. I priced it out , I would take the Isa modem over usb because you can get 10 gig hard drive space and with Suse professional that would be a good thing to have. web site for Thomsons is www.tcwo.com
they are open on saturdays too. and take credit cards just don't tell your girlfriend or wife that ;-}
