Pricing for systems: How much is your donation worth?
This is hard to determine.  Your computer might be stacked with goodies or a Plain Jane kind of system.  According to IRS rules, however, we cannot decide the actual value of your system.  You supply us a value and we report that amount to the UI Foundation.  To help you come up with a value, here's a chart of average prices for popular components.
