Well, if they got all the rest of a PDP system for
nothing, and then never found RSX, and contacted
the seller for a guarantee, then yeah, but that's a lot
of ifs.
I've gotten a few good systems together for free but
sometimes I just gotta think of all the _time_ I would've
saved If I had just paid the reseller price with one
phonecall.

Sometimes the hunt is fun just in itself (unless of course the 1 part you
don't have makes the rest of the system unusable).
