/giving some of it away as surplus to requirements - and it is all built into the cost so you are wasting money.
For just over £700 I bought a BRIO BA410 from Jungle (plus £10 for next day delivery). This is with:
* Pentium III 800 MHz,
* 128 Mb RAM,
* 10Gb hard drive,
* 56K PCI modem,
* 10/100 PCI LAN card,
* onboard sound,
* onboard VGA
* 48 x CD drive
* Windows 98,
* Word 2000 + CD
* Norton Antivirus
* Keyboard
* Scroll mouse
* HP recovery CD, Drivers CD
* 3 year warranty – First year next business day onsite
There are plenty of variants that can be selected e.g. with or without Word, Celeron or PIII processors, with or without modem or LAN card etc etc.

After a while and after lots of sore feet (those things have sharp corners ...

Advantages: Usefull pieces of rail Disadvantages: None
Brio Mini straight tracks .
These small pieces of straight track are actually a very useful addition to a Brio track. Thee are 4 pieces in this pack http://www.thelittlehencompany.com are selling it for £3.95. There are many other online shops selling this for similar prices. Just search for the best deal.
These mini straight rails are not all the same 2 of the pieces of rail have at opposite ends one male/lug and one female /hole joining part 1 of the other pieces has two female /holes joining parts , the remaining piece has both ends with a male /lug joining part.
Each piece is small and measures 54 mm 2?
These pieces are as I said incredibly useful. If you are constructing an elaborate railway circuit then you may well find you have left a very small space to fit a piece of track or you are stuck with two male /lug ...
