That *IS* outstanding compared to the prices they qre quoting now for
upgrades.  They want $85 just for a 450MHz CPU.  Did they cut you a deal
because you ordered a lot and were far away?

Also worth noting is that CCNY gives you a one year warranty with their
systems.

Maybe $140 for a U60 with a year warranty isn't so bad.

But then... I'm patient and need to think about the $125 I'll have to
pay for each drive I add, plus external bays if I need them, etc.
