Last year I bought an Acer AST180-UD440A for less than $200. I added RAM and a 8600 GTS. When I added the RAM I tried to adjust the latency and clock settings, and found they where locked down in the BIOS. The MB is a custom FOXCONN made for Acer. It is very similar to many of the FOXCONN...

Would a HTIB (home theater in a box) work for speakers? Would there be too much delay for games?

I haven't built a computer in about 5 years. It had an Athlon XP 1800+, lol. What is a modular PSU? Is that what they call a new one that doesn't have the massive bundle of wires hanging out? Would definatly like that if it's not a huge price bump.
