		Well, my brother asked me to build a computer for him, but the problem was that he is not exactly wealthy and only had $300 to spend.  Here is what I bought for him: 
 
Motherboard w/ CPU	$74.00	 
PC CHIPS M811LU KT266A / VT 8235 5xPCI 1xAGP(4x) 2xUSB ATX 266FSB -with cpu - ATHLON XP 2200+,1.8GHZ w/ Heatsink Fan  
 
Memory	$50.88	 
512 MB PC2700 Micron  
 
Hard Drive  $67.49   
Seagate 80 GB IDE 
 
CD-RW	$34.98	 
Lite-On 52x24x52 IDE 
 
Floppy	$12.98	 
Sony 1.44 internal 
 
Video Card  $69.00 
PowerColors ATI Radeon 9600SE 
 
Case and Power Supply	$17.00	 
400 W Power Supply and Metal Case 
		 
Total	$326.33	 
 
Obviously I had to cut corners on this.  But how do you think I did?  Any bad experiences with any of these components?  I know the PC Chips Mobo might be a bitch.
