That machine will run fast enough to put SS to good use, and is still under=
=A3300.  As a bonus, it fits in a 19" rack.  Of course, you = need to add
software to this price, which at =A330 for a license of Win98, doesn't add = up
to much.  It's still under =A3400, and you can upgrade/break things at= your
leisure.

I've not searched much for cheap bits and pieces, but I'm sure you could ha= ck
together something for around the =A3200-220 mark, or purchase second-hand = for
=A3150odd.
