Well I went over there today. One to just shop, but also to look for a 
replacement for my mini-tower case that just was to much of a hassle to deal 
with. I ended up buying a full tower case for $20 that just happed to have a 
P120, 32MB RAM (72 pin SIMMS), and a 700MB hardrive in it. ROX was selling 
old Gateways for $19 plus tax. Turns out the power supply didn't play well 
with my motherboard so I swapped in the PS from my mini and away we go. Now 
I've got to find some long IDE cables. 8^)

Granted I could have gotten this from them without going to the show but I 
also found a copy of the Coriolis CVS book for $10. 

Moral of the story: You almost never find what you're looking for but 
sometimes you find something that works just as well.
