You can get the ST, Mono, Color, 1 single sided drive, 1 double sided drive for around $1500. You can get the ST, Mono, Color, 1 single sided drive, 1 hard drive for about $2400. One mail order operation has been buying the "big package" and selling the pieces. Caveat - Atari has a strange return/warrenty policy. The warrenty is provided/sold by the dealer. Local dealers provide it free, but are under no obligation to do so. I am told that this policy may change soon.
