This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That seems high, are you sure that wasn't for one of the higher clocked models? I built my PC in 2004, and according to this article, the lower end models were $170.
I can't quite remember what I paid, I feel like it was less than that, though. I might've gotten it on sale from Tigerdirect.
Accounting for inflation that is probably still a bit high.
I forget which site I found that from, but it seemed in line with the other articles I dug up with the same search. It's entirely possible that I accidentally found a higher-range model rather than the discount one. Also possible that it was much cheaper the following year, since things were moving pretty quick back then. All I specifically remember from that era was buying an AMD Thunderbird from TigerDirect in 2001 for $99.
