[James Nikolaidis]

This is my first post, so forgive me if it goes wrong.
I have been subscribed to this list for quite some time and read the
post's with great interest.

I work for a company called Compexpress and I run the hardware side of
things.

Compexpress can supply you with all the equipment that you require for
your workstation. Contact me with your workstation specifications if you
want to see how our prices compare to Cougars.

motherboards.  I can give prices on request.
