- List is $399, plus you probably want an Ethernet board or
- a fast modem, so add another $250. GfxBase does offer a
- reasonable discount (somewhere along 10% to 20% depending
- on how much stuff you buy) for educational people. And a
- three-button mouse, so add another $50 to $90 (mechanical,
- get the C= one; optical, people seem to like the GfxBase one
- which looks like a Sun mouse. Personally, the C= mouse is
- far more responsive and comfortable than the Sun mouse.).
- So you're looking at right under $800 for a usable setup.
-
- I'm not associated in any way with GfxBase except as a
- very satisfied user of their really nice X server.
