It looks impressive for $600US. I took a minute to run up a system similar in specs at my local wholesaler: Component Price 3.2 Gb Ultra-IDE HD Fujitsu 115.00 TEAC 1.44 Mb floppy 18.00 TEAC 32x IDE CD-ROM 54.00 S3 Virge/DX 4Mb SVGA 27.00 Yamaha 3D sound 12.00 K6-2 300Mhz CPU 156.00 Soyo SY5-EHM motherboard 91.00 K6 CPU fan 6.00 64Mb SDRAM DIMM, 100 Mhz 78.00 Juster speakers AT-95 15.00 Juster gooseneck microphone 2.00 Mitsumi 104-key keyboard 9.00 Logitech 3-button mouse 8.00 TTGI mini-tower w/230W 23.00 ========== Total 614.00 Granted, this is in a boring little 'hydraulic door' case, but should perform similarly, with the exception that this one uses a motherboard with 100 Mhz bus to system ram, and has 64 Mb of RAM because that's all my shop stocks for 100 Mhz capabile SDRAM. I like your idea of getting a local shop to fabricate a cool- looking case. I once worked on a computer design we were going to put in a plastic potato, because they were cheap, cute, and we could get lots of them. (It was called the SPUDstation, for various reasons. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
