The first date of wanting to donate was june 14th, 1997. => Well, going by general prices here, I'd say that a minimum config, => essentially no more than what's necessary to do the job that freefall => does, would look something like: => => ASUS Motherboard: $250 => PII-400 processor: $750 => Memory (256MB PC100): $300 => ATX tower case: $150 => Usual fans/floppy/etc: $100 [all misc remaining parts] => => Total: $1550 SCSI Controller on the motherboard? => If I were going for broke, I'd also add: => => 2 Quantum Atlas II 9gb drives: $520 each, $1040 total. We're not going to go broke on this one. Just get the lot, and figure out a way to get met a bill with $2600 on it, so I can make our accountant happy. We've spent already ~$1700 on what is going to be a dedicated nl.freebsd.org Which has only 1 4Gb disk and a measily 233MMX/32Mb, but it'll do for a while. --WjW -- Internet Access Eindhoven BV., voice: +31-40-2 393 393, data: +31-40-2 606 606 P.O. 928, 5600 AX Eindhoven, The Netherlands Full Internet connectivity for only fl 12.95 a month.
