I'm on one right now.  PPro200, 32mb, 2mb ATI video, Adaptec 2940AU PCI, 
Intel 10/100bt PCI ethernet, SB16 PnP sound card, etc.  Basically everything
you need for a complete system minus a HD and a floppy drive.  Shipping runs
about $15-20 anywhere in the US.

I've overclocked this system to 233Mhz, replaced the SCSI stuff with
IDE, and added a Matrox Millenium 4mb PCI video card.  Makes a GREAT 
desktop *nix box.  I just wish I had a better monitor - stuck on a Packard
Bell 14" SVGA that only does 800x600 currently.  (my kingdom, my kingdom
for a 15" or 17" viewsonic or trinitron..)
