They cost somewhere from 600 to 700 USD in the USA *and* (for 
most boards e.g. the Asus Cur-DSL(?)) you are to likely get one or 
two 10/100 ethernetcards (mostly Intel) and Adaptec SCSI (from 
one to three channels, LVD or Ultra160) on board. So if one 
*needs* 64Bit/66MHz. PCI *and* 4GB Ram *and* the ethernet 
*and* SCSI subsystems, they are really cheap! If, on the other 
hand, you did not plan to purchase these interfaces anyway - they 
are expensive.

The other BX based systems (specially the Abit ones) work pretty 
well at 133MHz., good cooling expected.
