After some scouting at pricecheck.com and some other places this is what I
have come up with for a price list.  Only sucky thing is that I will end up
paying _tons_ of shipping.

Amptron P2200 ATX Dual Processing Capability- 440 LX AGPset w/ 1 333mhz P][
CPU. 3 ISA, 4 PCI 1 AGP. (4)168pin DIMMS-Ultra DMA- AMI-ATX form  				$296
64MB SDRAM Dimm							$ 80
floppy drive(TEAC)							$ 18
Western Digital 6.4GB EIDE Ultra DMA 10ms, 5400rpm, 256k		$140
Diamond Monster Fusion Graphics 16mb SDRAM, 3DFX Banshee	$138
Case w/ Power supply.(Sparkle power supply)				$ 50
CPU cooling fan								$ 13
Keyboard and mouse							$ 50
Monitor	(15incher)							$150
Sound Card(SB64AWE)							$ 40
Toshiba CDROM 32X							$ 50

Total-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------$1024

Lots of these prices are from things I found on www.pricecheck.com. 
What are the good brands of monitors? Gerneric, ViewSonic, DIGIVIEW, CTX?
any of these sound familar? is there any that I should be warry of?
Do you see anything I am forgetting?  I already have  ethernet card and
therefore have no need for a modem.  
3DFX Banshee?  Is this the same as the 3DFX Voodoo stuff? It will be
compatible with all of the 3dfx games right?
Will that Diamond Monster Fusion card work in X? I dont mean will the 3dfx
stuff work I mean will the card even work in X windows.

If you have answers to any of these questions please reply.
Scott

P.S. I looked for a Fry's web page to see what kind of prices they have.  I
was unable to find it.  If you know it please reply w/ it.  I live in
Oregon and there isnt one near me but atleast I would be able to order
everything at one place and that would cut down on the shipping.
