For a total of $681 w/s&h from tigerdirect.com

A couple things. No name brand mobos are usually more trouble than they're worth, but it's up to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The board can handle ddr400 which is no more expensive than ddr333, so I'd go with 400. Also, the price on that ram is insane. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... pgkingston

 

 

 

You can get 1GB of good ram for that much money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hard drive is too small to do... anything. It's also overpriced. I got a 250GB Maxtor for $50 at circuit city a month ago...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, it appears that the vid card needs agp 8x and the motherboard only has 4x. Another problem. The cpu is so INCREDIBLY slow, it'll destroy the system. No point spending cash on a decent vid card and decent ram with a processor like that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

O yea... Why a 5.1 sound card and 2.1 speakers?

I founda 7.1 card + 7.1 speakers for under 200 total, I think it was on Newegg too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and 50 dollars!?!? cheapest I can find is a buck a gig

I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

To be honest, that sounds expensive for a low-end box. A 1.8 Duron and a GF 5200 won't last long, and we're still talking a fair bit of money. I would look elsewhere.

Oops. I meant $80. They also had a 160BG for $50. That one was sold out FAST. IT was a one time multi-rebate deal, but I got the rebates back fast so I'm happy :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, a buck a gig is pretty bad. I did a really quick search and foudn this. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... icegrabber

 

 

 

I'm sure there's cheaper non-one-time-deals out there.

Ive never heard of this western digital :S
