Here's a P-III 550, 64 MB, 15 GB, DVD. $259

On a tip from OhRyan, I bought a 600 version, then two 500s for others, after the 600s were sold out.

PS may be a bit lite for those Gbyte Video cards, though a friend says an alt. PS (Korea, remember) is available. Likely 120W. I've burned CDs with no sweat. Also no probs running a borrowed Matrix on the DVD - dunno how many watts that draws

Have same video card as this - fine for my uses. 98SE w/ 98-lite is happy (and -lite IS faster sans the junk). Drop in a 128 stick for 192: who 'needs' faster? For heat, other reasons - kinda like the vert. mount for HD, near front panel - EZ 2-screw install of CDRW; all in all a no-brainer.

Model number of my 600 version was GEN 610, so it's pretty clearly another e-Machine deal. All 3 machines bought in June were new (described as this one is), worked fine - shipped cheaply. Guy I talked to sounded knowledgeable and helpful - no idea re warranty service as, nothing broke.

HTH,

A.
