Go for: Gateway P-120 w. Triton chipset based motherboard ( !!! - note , they apparenly have only 4 slots for SIMMs - so double check if you'll be able to put 256 Mb of RAM into it ... they have some advanced RAM - DRAM or something like this , but it only comes in 16 Mb SIMMs . Sigh :( Adaptec 2940 PCI-SCSI Seagate Barracudas HDDs SMC EtherPower Ethernet adapter Diamond Stealth 64 with 4 Mb of RAM :)) - but be careful here too - the folx from XFree team doesn't have a XS3 binary for the latest Diamond card ( the one which comes with Texas Inst. 220 Mhz chip) , so either buy something less bleading from Diamond , or wait a month or so . Anything else would be uncivilized :)) Rashid
