You're in the area I'm looking at... but my raw costs are higher than
130, and I thought I'd sourced everything pretty cheaply. If you can
show me how you came to that calculation I'd be very interested.

I'm buying a case (450W PSU included), the E1400, a socket 775 mobo w/
onboard graphics and sound, a 160GB SATA(II) 7200rpm hdd, 2GB (2 x
1GB) DDR2 800MHz RAM, and a CD/DVD writer/rewriter.

I contacted them yesterday and am awaiting their response.

Cheers
