[luau] a generic system

[Dan George]

Yes but dual P3-500s run faster and better than 1 P3-1ghz CPU and cheaper.
 You can get a dual P3-500 MLB with SCSI and RAID for $99 from Personal
Touch or Byte.
 The graphics card and sound card around $80. Two 256 SDRAM for $55
(CompUSA)
 I would sell the P3-500 Slot 1 for $50 with heatsink and fan.
 You could run it as a single processor until you find a second P3-500 slot
1.

 Im tempted to buy that dual MLB myself but I love my IWILL MLB which never
gave me any problems.

I would go to newgg.com and buy the black evercase with a 300w ps for 42,
asus's tusi-m mboard for 68, a p3 for $122, 256mb ram for 50, cd and floppy
for 40, and a maxtor drive for whatever size you want.  With shipping you
will spend less than $500 and you never leave your house.  The board has
integrated nic and video and has run redhat 7.2 no problem.  I have a test
register that dual boots with linux and win98.  I built it to test
monmotha's
boot image for my POS environment, but it got deployed before I got to it.
I
am building 5 of these the next few days along with a bunch of other boxes.
I hope this helps some.
