(motherboard alone was $320) including 2 150MHz cpus (which I overclocked to 166MHz). Call (or email) them and see if you can get the "swap meet price". I chose it because of its 5 pci slots and 8 simm slots. 2 weeks ago the P6-200/512k cpu was just over $1k at the swap meet. they should drop to ~$750 when the klamath is released.(in may/june) Rob
