Hell, for that much money you can build a farking powerhouse.
Processor Athlon 1.2ghz
Memory Step-Thermodynamics PC150 256 meg dimm
Mobo A7v
Fully scsi
cd burner, high end dvd drive
SB live plat sound card
hell you could go all out and even get a network card with the special 3com network processing unit built in.
unless you get a flatscreen monitor, then it would be a pretty moderate system.
flatscreens will cost way too much to be feasable though, I'd reccomend something with a tube unless you REALLY want to sacrifice performance for .... a small monitor
If you want you can send me an email and I can give you an estimate for costs and web sites of suppliers that can hook you up with the toys ;-)

YOWZERS!
WIth that much money why not wait a bit for the DDR boards? Get some DDR ram, a newer GHz+ T-Bird (266FSB) and a killer video card, like a GTS?

But you want killer? NOthing less than a GHz chip. Nothing less than 256MB of Ram. Nothing less than a 64MB GeForce2 card.

Happy gaming. :)

Unless your deadset on building your own. Try www.bestbuy.com . They have a 1.2Ghz DDR with most of the goodies for $1499 . And you can have it built to order if ya want .

If the fat lady's singing at least shes losing weight.
 
Wow really. I am gonna check it now.

Guys does anyone know when we r gonna have GF3 with 128 MB? 😎
I remember that it should come out somewhere at the end of this year. But I am not sure.
