Well I finally broke down and bought the Shuttle SS51 XPC. Gosh I'm feeling really giddy again,,,Another new toy!
Walked into Harddrives Northwest and there she was in all her glory! Pretty blue lights and all!
I Had $800 cash burning a hole in my pocket...(Sold My old Compaq 500Mhz K6-2 laptop and had money from the broken PDA sales!)
Paid $350 + tax, Yeah a little more than what you can get it for online nowdays ($279) but I like HDNW 1 year parts warranty.
Bought a P-4A 2.0GHZ (512K cache) CPU for it and a black floppy drive. Cutting edge down the road has Black CD-rom drives that cost a bit less.
Already have a brand new 120GB 7200RPM Western digital HDD for it and 256MB stick of ram.
I'm gonna try the working recycled (Dumpster special) GeForce 4 64MB AGP Video card, Hope it fits!
Gonna put it together during the 4 day holiday next week. (YES!!! 4 DAYS OFF!)
