Very lucky indeed. Machines like these are $50-100 at retail here in  
Silicon Valley. The gig of RAM and licenses might (and I stress might)  
bump you up a little over that, but $200 generally gets you a used P4  
of some type in a retail store.

E-bay is the only place I can think of where you'd find someone dumb  
enough to pay $75 for a used (persumably  PC100) dimm. I paid $25 for  
one at the local charitable computer recycling center a few weeks ago.  
You can easily find them new for under $50 online, and for even less  
with a rebate.

Yes, just like cars, the parts a usually worth more than the whole.
