At $400 for a decent PC, including 19-inch monitor (multiple items on BestBuy website, used and new), and $310 for an LP-PAN kit and an EMU-0202 sound card, the choice of a P3 strikes me as having to be based on other than economics. Plus, as Don says, you have the fun of learning the ins and outs of PowerSDR-IF and LP-BRIDGE, both free. Aspirin not included.
