Um, Kurt? That's not exactly a great deal. Now, if it had an AMD-K6-2 450,
a 17" monitor, and a 4x4x24 CDRW, it might be a bit better of a buy.
However....
CPU -> ~$45-50
Network Adapter -> $10-$25 (with rebates to 10, without at 20-25)
1.44 Floppy -> $19
ATX Case -> $45-$65 (depending on configuration and PS)
REDHAT -> $45
Diamond Viper -> $60 (or less?)
MB -> $65-$110
Keyboard -> $0-$25 (I've seen rebates down to free)
Mouse -> $20 (you can do cheaper, though... again, $0-$90, but few want a
$90)
8.4 GB HD -> $100
64 MB pc100 SDRAM -> ~$100
40x CD -> $35
15" Monitor -> $100-150
40 watt speakers -> $25
(Of course, you have no sound card or modem with this...)
That comes out to (Using the highest end on all of those prices!) $829.
Using lower end prices, It's somewhere around $600, with the big costs being
the monitor, memory, and HD making up about half.
