Ooops, wow, I had no idea, Nano...I honestly thought you were in college. Silly me! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ok...hm, well, *is* there a college around with a school newspaper? If not, does your town have a "Green Sheet" or other "classifieds-only" free paper that runs like weekly or bi-weekly ads for the community? We have those here in Texas and they always have some great bargains.

It's a pity that you're not in the Dallas area. Every first Saturday of the month, all the tech-heads meet starting at 4:30 in the morning in downtown Dallas in a set of parking lots and have a computer *swap meet*. You can get a whole system there for under $200 that's comparable to what you can buy in stores nowadays for $1,000.

Be that as it may, do check the "personal classified" papers...you may find something. I'll keep hoping for you.

Cheers,
