Here's something a little newer from July 7, 2000:
Full tower case
300W Sparkle ATX power supply
AMD Athlon Slot A 700MHz processor
Epox EP-7KXA Slot A 4x AGP mobo
128MB Infineon PC100 SDRAM
Sound Blaster Live!
Labtech three piece speaker set
Western Digital 30GB 7200RPM hard drive
48x CD-ROM drive
Acer PA3000 TNT2 M64 32MB AGP video card
Lucent 56K V.90 winmodem
Panasonic 8x4x32 CD-RW ($200)
Acer 99sl 19" monitor ($400)
Mouse and keyboard
Total with tax and labor:
$1,800.84 
We had a shop in Gainsville, Florida build this because we had no way to get parts. We had just come back from a year long trip, and we had been out of the computer world for that long, and sold our old computer before we left. So we payed these guys to slap together a system to our specifications.

Yeah, that was MY first Slot A combo, too!
I also remember paying $240+ for a 4/2/24 Creative burner, and a whopping $275 for a pair of STB 12Mb Voodoo2 cards, putting them in SLI for Q3 LANs. :p |

Speaking of SIMMs! $25 per MB for 4MB of 32 pin SIMMs for our 386.
Electroman ran soooo much faster after getting that extra 4MB of RAM 
A mere $6,400 for 256MB of RAM then...
