All of a sudden I don't feel as bad about the prices I'm paying:

  PC100 AGP Pro 1Mb 100MHz sound AT M/board:  45 quid
  AMD K6 TWO 350:                            177 quid  
  64Mb DIMM 100MHz PC100 spec:                64 quid
  Diamond Viper 330 AGP OEM:                  61 quid
  ATX case with 230 Watt Power Supply:        25 quid
  Win95 k/b:                                   7 quid
  3-button Logitech mouse:                     3 quid 

And that's without shopping around - I got a 1Gig HDD the other day for 25
quid.  The original Intel P2 350 MMX is 233 quid though, but who needs
that expensive consumerist crap anyway?  *s*

Not sure how that lot compares, but it seems fairly reasonable.
