I think this means I'm a guy who sticks with the big, wizened industry players with a certain Canadian slant. And brunettes are just amazing in their own right.

Ornery:
Your system is not as inexpensive as you would have us believe. For starters, it HAS to be in a CASE of some kind, 2) it won't operate without RAM, which can be quite expensive 3) you can't run an overclocked Celie Coppermine 128 Flip Chip PGA CPU on an AOpen AX6bc (slot 1) mobo (I know because I have BOTH of these) WITHOUT a SLOCKET II converter and a heatsink/fan combo, 4) certainly there is SOME form of removable storage like a 3 1/2" floppy or Zip Drive, 5)the BX440 chipset does NOT support any DMA modes higher than ATA-33 without an add-on ATA-66 or other PCI controller card like the Promise Ultra 66 (or are you running the IBM drive in ATA-33 mode and losing performance)?, 6) do you hear any SOUNDS emanating from your PC (other than the POST beeps of the case speaker)? and if so, what multimedia speakers are attached to your SB Live Value soundcard and what did you pay for them?, and 7) you can't get around windows entirely with just a mouse... a KEYBOARD is required.
Finally, did you get these units all at the same place or were independent shipping charges involved?

Please be accurate in your description of your system and the TOTAL costs if you are trying to describe a "cost-saving" system. Your post resembles a misleading advertisement by one of the "NAME-BRAND VOLUME Vendors" one sees in a Sunday Newspaper.
