I just bought the Creative Blaster PC kit from tigerdirect.com. With a CELERON cpu! Why would a normally sane person get a CELERON? Because the 533 goes 800 at 100MHz FSB and only cost me-get this-$30!!!!
Here's how it worked-the kit, with motherboard, case, and power supply, with built in Creative Sound Blaster Live Platium 5.1(!), an FM tuner, and remote cost only $149(!!!!!) The kit with a Celeron FC-PGA and a slotket cost $199. But since the slotket would have cost $20 separately, I only paid $30 for the CPU! Tigerdirect has been flooding me with emails about this thing-well, my wifes sytem crashed, it took to attempts to reload it, so I decided it was time to replace it again (it used to be mine, but I could not get it to run stable with all my cards and software, so I already replaced it once!)
So like I said, these prices, I tried every way I could think of to reason my way out of buying it, but, well, I just couldn't come up with an adequate reason!
Suicide is painless...........
