Ok, so I suppose I should elaborate. I'm porting over my vid card and hard drive, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. at the very least so there's a couple hundred knocked off of the overall price. 256 MB of PC133 RAM can be had for roughly 50 bucks these days off ebay because RD ram is out and the next big thing, so standard DIMMs have plummeted in price. The barebones is a motherboard with 1 ghz AMD CPU, 300w. case and floppy (and shitty integrated vid and sound), selling on e-bay currently for between 200 and 350 depending on quality of motherboard and other components included. The guy I'm looking at also throws in 128 MB of PC133 RAM, rounding out a nice deal. his 1 ghz systems go around 225 because they're his lowest end systems.
