The latest one that I saw in a Dell flyer (in Canada), was a Celeron 2.9, 512MB, 80 or 60GB, etc, etc for $349 CAD. Can beat it, in many ways! If you want to build it yourself, then maybe you can build yourself a little mini-ATX machine, one that's small and out of the way? Cheers, Matt ------------ http://www.freebsdfreaks.net/ ------------
