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.

i would recomend this exact setup as well. if your into gaming i would suggest getting different processor and spending a little more on a video card, say a p4 2.6c and a radeon 9600pro, or a 2.4c and a 9800. also most of the newer p4's will overclock to 3ghz+ plus easily.
