gotta cheap battery for 20.. 99% of the time the computer will be plugged into a wall. so it isnt a big deal as long as the battery last at least an hour at a time
there are ide hard drives for 20 brand new 80/60 gb on ebay.
i only need one ram stick... a 1gb.. i found on ebay one that cost $15
so it does cost a little bit more than i hoped.. around 60-65 with shipping.. and im going to have buy it in pieces..
