Can you post where you got your 3rd party hardware and what might be the
rough 'street price'?

I'm also seriously considering 'taking the plunge' but am quite convinced of
the need for RAM and HD space - so I'd be *very* interested in *any* way of
getting below the price of the 16/400 slab (which seems to be the absolute
minimum functional configuration) -- a 8/105 slab with 3rd party hardware
might just be the solution (*if* it's really cheaper and it works!).

Thanks.
