good parts

[Eric Hagen]

I know it's a little late, but I have always done my price checking at
www.byteware.com, it's a local store in Kam Shopping center on N. School
Street.  Their prices and selection are very good.
I'm looking at building a 1 GIG, 256 Meg system for around $900 from
them.

CASE Antec KS180 Full Tower 300W	$130
MOTHERBOARD Asus A7V133 KT133 w/
AMD Athlon 1Ghz 266Mhz FSB (OEM)	$300.00
Kingston PC133 256MB SDRAM DIMM 	$59.95
Seagate or IBM 40 GIG HD 7200 RPM 	$150.00
ATI XPERT2000 32MB AGP 			$69.95
TEAC 1.44 Floppy			$20.00
Toshiba SDM-1502 16X/40x DVD-ROM IDE	$90.00
