Hi everybody.

I've got an idea that I need to verify before proposing it to my boss. A guy in
our service department has made the statement that a MacII->IIfx logic board
upgrade is going to run around $2200. This got me thinking about a reasonably
priced IIfx. Am I missing something in the pricelist below? Any ideas or 
comments are appreciated.

MacII (Pre-Owned Electronics)                   $2195
Logic Board Upgrade                             $2200
Memory (Absolutely no idea. Totally guessing!)  $1000
Quantum 105 MB drive                            $ 699
Apple 1.4 Meg HD Drive                         ~$ 400
-----------------------------------------------------
Total:                                          $6494

This is a far cry from the $10,000-$12,000 I've seen it being priced at. Have
I missed something here? I'll never understand how Apple arrives at such
outrageous figures.
