There were a lot of changes to the proposed hardware
after the fact that
caused the price to change. These were all due to the 1U case that we got.
Once the case was in, it turned out that the case only supported a slimline
(laptop style) cdrom, not a regular size one. Also, the heatsink/fan for the
proposed 1.2ghz cpu was too tall, so we had to use a smaller fan/heatsink
which also meant changing to a slower processor. The 256mb DRAM that was
donated was too tall, so I had to trade it in for two 128mb simms that fit.
Then the supplier ran out of the motherboard that I was quoted, so we had to
use a different one there.
