This list would be my suggestion's for a nice $1000 + PC........
All Prices from http://newegg.com/
Case ~ ANTEC SOHO File Server Tower ATX Case with 400W Power Supply, Model "SX1040BII" $83.00
Processer ~ Intel Pentium 4/ 3.0C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512KB Cache, Hyper Threading Technology $267.00
Motherboard ~ ABIT 875P Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU, Model "IC7-G MAX2" $149.99
Ram ~ Kingston HyperX Series Dual Kits 184 Pin 512MB(256MBx2) DDR PC-3200 $127.00
Video ~ ATI RADEON 9600SE Video Card, 128MB DDR, 64-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP $125.00
Sound card ~ Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS $89.00
Sony Black DVD+/-RW Recorder Drive, Model DW-U14A $139.99
Sony Black 16X DVD-ROM Drive, Model DDU1612/B2 $29.00
Sony MPF920 Black 1.44MB 3.5INCH Floppy Disk Drive $10.99
Main HD ~ Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model WD360GD $115.00
Storage HD ~ Western Digital 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model WD1200JD $95.00
Total $1231.00 - tax & shipping and a few things like cables, case fans ect.
This would be a nice all around machine for gaming, video ect, and have plenty of room for expansion.....
It all depends on what you plan on using it for, the price can easily be brought down by going with standard
IDE drives, a cheaper video and sound card....... even a cheaper motherboard, I chose the Max 2 because it's
a great board with dual Sata and onboard Lan, but if you're on dial up you'll need a network card so the "IC7"
would be a better choice.
My main machine has most of the above with a few more bells & whistles,
2 x 512 Kingston Hyper X
Radeon 9800 Pro
Audigy2 ZS Platinum
2 x 36.7 Raptors (Raid0)
200gb Maxtor (storage)
Coolermaster Musketeer
Vantec Fan controller
