Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] What's a good mobo/cpu combination?

["Jamie Lloyd" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hell the slocket and celeron w/ heatsink and fan was $52 :-)  From Mwave
also.
Mwave is where I buy everything I need for computer stuff.  Now I did have a
problem with them last week on getting a IBM hd fixed and replaced but other
than that, they are very nice, fast and the prices on things are some of the
cheepest around.
