[QUOTE="ngrigsby, post: 78440, member: 24875"] Here's what I paid for the various components from Newegg.com: Case: Antec Solution Series NSK2400 - $85 Motherboard: Asus M2NPV-VM - $84 CPU: AMD Sempron 64 3000+ - $60 RAM: Kingston ValueRam 512MB (2x256MB)DDR2 533 - $51 HDD: Samsung SpinPoint P Series 250GB (OEM) - $70 TV Tuner: PowerColor T55E-P03 - $74 - $10 rebate Total after rebate: $414 + shipping (about $30) And then these I reused or got free: CD/DVD: Repurposed MSI 52xCDRW,16xDVD Combo Drive - Free Keyboard & Mouse: Repurposed Logitech Wireless Combo - Free Remote: Repurposed ATI Remote Wonder - Free Windows XP Pro - Free from school This was a month or so ago. Looks like Newegg raised the price of the case, but are now offering a rebate to make up the difference. I could have built an even less expensive system had I not been so concerned with future upgradability. If you wanted to save a few more bucks, you can probably find good deals right now on AMD Socket 939 motherboards and processors. At least, they were cheap and plentiful when I was searching (bargains may be more rare now). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
