My nephew, who I got addicted to BG series, wanted a new pc, So I buitl him one:
Asus A7N266-VM $88
Duron 950 $34
256 DDR $40
60gig $79
Toshiba DVD $45
Samsung CDRW $79
Flat Panel Speakers $35
Case $30
Floppy $14
KB $15
Monitor (I already had an extra but a new one cost about $165)
Video, sound, nic are all onboard: Video is gForce2 Class, Sound is 6.1 digital, and nic is nic.
W/O monitor $459. Plays games quite nicely with all options turned on. Jedi Knight 2 looks great.
Don't let the hardware makers fool you, sure a 64 meg or 128 meg Radeon 8500 or gforce4 is nice and will play games faster and better, but a Radeon 7200 or a gforce MX class card will do the job as well.
