not too shabby....  centralcomputer has it listed at $139
( plus tax... ouch ... but it'd be same day or next for delivery )

and if you need parts in 2-3hrs... get a reseller permit
and no prob getting parts in 2 hrs if the distributors have it in stock
( distributor --> requires reseller permit

more online webstores

webstores... bet ya diddnt know so many pc stores in silicon valley
existed on the web ??

and if you need 44pin to 40pin ide adaptors... thats harder to find
( but central has um ... and actioncomputer too )
