Heh, yeah. I bought that one. $116 before shipping. Nice. It was less money to buy that and try to pick up 300MHz CPU(s) as I can than to buy anything with a 300 in it already. Nice deal.

I also was tempted by a U1 170E for $48 + shipping to purchase in addition. U1s are *very* inexpensive it seems.
