I'd love to have one. I don't suppose there would be any kind of

place, would be justifying it to my wife. For that same sort of price
I could get her a well equipped MacBook.

Hmmm ... I've got 2 spare ROM1 motherboards, so if they provided a
discount for providing your own, I wonder if it would be flexible
enough to allow for multiple discounts if you provide multiple
boards.  If the discount per motherboard was (for example) $50 per
board, I'd only need to find another 10 motherboards to bring the cost
down to a level that wouldn't leave me with severe sticker shock (and
a murderous spouse).  Well, at least it would lessen the sticker shock
- no discount would likely solve the murderous spouse problem.  ;)

I see the smiley, but why would you think they need more of one of the less expensive parts?
