    Yes! I'm very happy with mine.

    Since you can get a geforce3 ti200 for $69, yes they are good. I got mine early in the year (in March) for $100 after $30 rebate. I'm happy with it.

    Forgot to mention case and power supply for my systems.

    Sys 1:
    Antec SmartPower 350W
    Future Power 208

    Sys 2:
    PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 300W
    In-Win Q500 Full Tower

    Sys 3:
    Sparkle 300W (came with case)
    In-Win A500

    I would do another mod to the case. The inside really sucks, since there is a panel blocking access to the drives section of the case, and can't be removed. Generally, it's not an issue, but when the case is stuffed with drives, it can get quite annoying. I like the Q500 and my Future Power better in that regard.

    Dude, I have that case (but it is 5 years old and doesn't have the nice case mods ). Within:

    Pentium Pro 200 mhz (66 *3)
    96 MB FPM
    Some asus board
    Some Creative sound card
    Hurcles Thriller 3d Pro (Hey, it has s video in and out)
    SCSI setup w/ 16x CD-ROM and 6/4/16 CD-RW
    6 and 1 GB hard drives

    This is how I bought it, but am now selling some of the parts and is now sitting on the floor.

    Well, here's my circa late '99 Power Mac:

    450 MHz G4
    some DVD drive
    20 GB HD
    USB 2.0 PCI card
    a fan
    maybe some other stuff

    Obviously I don't really care what's in my system, but I just thought I'd add a little diversity to the thread!

    The official specs are here. I'd like to upgrade, but no $$$ for it right now.
