IBM just released their 43P series - PPC 604 based boxes - these aren't
really economical - but they did something really funky when the released
these beasts...

Their PC Division simultaneously released their Model 580's - they're also
a PPC 604 based PCI bus box.  Standard features are:
	540 Mb IDE drive
	Built in Ethernet 
	Built in 1280x1024 graphics adapter
	Built in sound
	16 Mb memory

Basically the only thing you have to do is add monitor.  These specs are
off the top of my head - see http://www.ibm.com  for more exact info.
List price on these beasts are $2750, which isn't bad all things considered
cut throat resellers will be selling them for cheaper.  I've considered 
getting one myself - but - well - even $2750 is a little spendy for me.
