- You misread something. The Eaglie Pentium Board is not for a not-existing
- A5000, it is for the existing A4000. It is primarily a Tower case for the

- two systems in one... AFAIK it is cheaper than getting a real Pentium
- system, but not THAT MUCH cheaper (but, of course, additional, no need
- for second monitor, second keyboard...)
