[ale] computer store near northlake?

[Jeff Hubbs]

I picked up one of the last two American Media Systems mini-ATX
plexiglas and aluminum barebones systems left at Microcenter for $180. 
1.7GHz Celeron for $65, 256MB RAM for $22, 30GB HDD for $30, CD-RW drive
for $20 - bang, daughter's new game box for $317, no tax.

The AMS box has built-in S3 ProSavage8 video, but there's also an open
AGP slot and a PCI slot available.
