A company called Maximus. They are in the Computer Shopper.I don't
have the 800 number handy but their website is www.maximus.com

The guy I dealt with was on extension 120. His name was Byron. I was
interested in a non-MMX Pentium 166 system that was advertised. He
then said for $95 more, he'd make it an MMX. I said no thanks. Then he
said for $95 more, he would make it MMX and give me a 16X CDROM
instead of 12X. I thought about it a little and then he said he'd make
it a 200 MMX with the 16X CDROM for the same $95. I jumped on it!
