All new system :

          Mid Tower case
          Abit 440 BX motherboard (100MHz bus)
          Intel Pentium II 350 MHz chip
          6.4 GB hard drive
          64mb SD RAM
          32x CD-Rom
          1.44 Floppy Drive
          8 MB SIS AGP video 3D Accelerator
	  17" Digital Monitor
	  Wavetable Sound Card
	  56K V.90 FaxModem
	  Full Range MegaBass Amplified Speakers
                                                         - $ 1225

BTW, if you didn't notice that includes the monitor, sound card, modem,
and a one year warranty.  All this and more at www.comtrade.com.  BTW, I
find this via www.pricewatch.com.  I would check there before buying
anything anywhere.  They seem to always have the lowest prices.
