slow computer & ebay stories
My computer is so slow I thought about driving across the country and paying some guy on ebay for parts, rather than bidding from my house!

it's very true. broadband is becoming something everyone is getting if possible. The price has come down to be better than competative. As far as building a computer for cheap, check out www.pricewatch.com That website watches all of the computer parts websites and finds the cheapest one, and reports it back to you. I'm going to get a Motherboard/CPU combo Athlon 64 3400 for a little over 200 dollars.

I built my computer as I will not/cannot tolerate the crap of the shelves of box stores, it's fast, and I have cable (4Mb dl/384Kb ul). I buy and sell on Ebay and all is just fine. If you're having problems buying on Ebay, maybe go to a friends house for the auction and use the strategy called "sniping". For example, #4527072214. Make use of incremental bidding too.

I built my computer as well, though purposely for gaming 
The Cable connection allows for surfing the web super fast 
Ebay auctions are great becuase I can refresh as fast I can hit the button in the last seconds of the auction time and rebid if necessary. If you need help building a computer anyone of us can give you hand
