Dave, if you've got your asbestos suit on, why don't you post this over on
C.S.IBM and see what response you get?  

Surely these guys could give you _real_ prices on this stuff.

However, if I may suggest a something, the on-board SCSI should be moved to
a card, since I doubt there's not many (if any) PClones with the interfaces
on the motherboard.   --Just keep the bit about 4 slots still open! :-)
