TCWO is one of the best places around for parts. They are cheap and they
are local. The only other place that is cheaper here in Tampa as ASI but
you have to be a business to purchase from them (that is where TCWO gets a
lot of their stuff). Plus TCWO is pretty good about taking back defective
merchandise.
that is my 2 cents worth

Jason ,
You can get the parts here in town and build almost same machine except
you can get a 20 gig hard drive and 52x cd rom and use a isa modem for
around 450.00
750 mhz duron , 8 meg ati card , 20 gig wd drive udma 66 <--New , 128 meg
pc 133 ram Biostar mother board that supports both duron and athlon up to
1.3ghz
52 x cd rom isa 56 v.90 will work with all distro mother board has usb and
sound card , floppy case , surrond speaker key mouse , and this place is on
town open to public. do some checking not bad for the same price you can go
to a 950 mhz duron that would kick some serious A*$. I priced it out , I
would take the Isa modem over usb because you can get 10 gig hard drive
space and with Suse professional that would be a good thing to have. web
site for Thomsons is www.tcwo.com
they are open on saturdays too. and take credit cards just don't tell your
girlfriend or wife that ;-}
