[ILUG] Hardware for PC Linux

[Martin McNelis]

Have a look at the System deals on www.jaguarcompsys.ie

For example:

Jaguar Intel Celeron 700Mhz 
Intel Celeron Processor 700MHz
512k Internal Cache / 3 x PCI Slots / 1x ISA Slots 
64Mb 100MHz Sd Ram 
10Gb Ide Hard Disk Drive / 1.44 Floppy Drive 
15" Svga Colour Monitor 
52x Cd Rom / Set 160 Watt Speakers / Intergrated Sound & Video 
Midi Tower Atx Case
PS2 Keyboard & PS2 Mouse
1 Year Guarantee - Back To Base (Including Labour & Parts) 
Price: £499.00 (ex VAT) 

That's Irish prices... and you'll have a hard time beating them...
They'll also adjust the spec to whatever you want and adjust the prices
accordingly.

Also, you're not paying for an OS you're not using like with most systems.

Cheers,
Martin
