If you're really lazy like I was, check out www.pcnut.com and their
overclocking section. They sell preassembled, pretested and waranteed
overclocked Celeron systems. I got a Celeron 366 clocked to 550 with an
Abit BX2.0, 128 megs RAM, extra cooling and a case for $580. The also
sell board-chip combos and overclocking tested chips. If you're bargain
shopping or don't plan on overclocking, they have tested Celeron 366s
that won't do 550 for $55.
As most people on the list will tell you, stay away from Chipsmart.
I also highly recommend MicroChip, located at
http://www.microchipcomputer.com and here in town. They'll match prices
and have some great deals occasionally (I picked up a 14 gig IBM 7200
RPM HD for $159).
