I've found a barebones box with a D525 board in it, for $120, claims to have the lpt on the back panel already. Needs a couple sticks of ddr2, a smallish sata drive and a dvd reader. <http://www.outletpc.com/rj3658.html> $120 kit $ 29 ram $ 80 500G sata3 drive $ 40 laptop style dvd drive, don't see how desktop would fit $ 24 keyboard/mouse with usb rf dongle _____ $293 + whatever Looks like it would be a ready to install 10.04 on. What do the folks here think of this kit? Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
