Sure. Got the case w/ logic board, PSU, DVD-R, Heatsink and all relevant internal and external cabling for $49 w/ free shipping

I found a place online that was having a one-day sale on secondhand video cards and purchased the Radeon 9000 Pro (Mac Edition) for $20 w/ free shipping

Got the Airport Extreme off of e-bay for $25 w/ free shipping (although I see today someone is offering one here for $10...)

Ordered the DP 1.25 Ghz card from a store online for $50 w/ Free Shipping.

The wife of a guy I know was forcing him to reduce his stash of PC/Mac parts so I got the HDD's and RAM for free.

That pretty much covers it. The real steal was the case w/ the various pieces inside. The guy really didn't seem to know what he had on his hands, he knew it was a G4 MDD but didn't appear to be aware that it was a FW800 model, but I recognized the FW800 port right away. Considering it weighed 30 pounds according to UPS and he had to ship it 1/2 way across the US he couldn't have made very much after the shipping.

However, I'll most likely get to play with it for a little while until my car drops dead, I break yet another bone, etc... and then I will have no choice but to put it up for sale in the trading post or, shudder, up on e-bay for what I payed for it or a little less.
