A _lot_ of price comparing both online and on foot.

I got and XP2000 with heatsink and cooler for $80 online
asus Asus A7N266-VM with nic, soundcard and basic graphics (gforce2) 
for $73 online
512 crucial ram $125 online
80 gig maxtor 8MB cache $50 on sale at best buy (got up at 5:30 am for 
that sale)
antec case w/350 watt antec power supply $50 (cosmetic problems) from 
compusa
I had a cdrw and floppy drive already
and I cheated, I didn't count the $50 tuner card which I already had
so real grand total was $428

but I spent a ton of time looking for this stuff!
