Did you 1) check closed or within hours of closing auctions, 2) Consider
these have monitors, RAM, OS, HD, keyboard, mouse. 3) consider shipping
including a 17in monitor... eBay sellers like to add that on. ;)

For example, no monitor, currently $202.50 + $35 shipping, doesn't
mention anything else, does have 192mb RAM though...

About even?

Seems to be the exact same setup, $250, far from closing, reserve not
even met, buyer pays shipping...

Bet this one hits $400...

I'd be shocked if you got a better deal on eBay...

Hmmm, buy the 100, let TCLUGers have dibs, auction the rest off on ebay
for massive profit... ;)

I want one but I don't have the money right now... :P
