[deleted post] thanks for the help guys

Eh, I don't really need a side panel window, and it seems like that might bring the price up a little bit. I'm up for whatever, though, whatever you think would work the best. Any recommendations for case fans?

I believe I posted the list on in my post before last.

OK, so is that everything? Do I need any fans?

I would be happy with just a decent monitor, however a 19" for $169.99 seems like a steal. Any recommendations are welcome, however, I do prefer name brands.

The list, so far: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 - $183.00 GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express - $116 G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ 2 x 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 800 RAM - $130 SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO 256MB PCI-Express - $155 NEC Black DVD Burner - $30 XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W...

Software isn't an issue, and no, I do no want a tuner card, I'm not goign to use the computer as a media center in that sense, but rather a computer for work, that I can also play my media on (video, music, pictures). Can someone recommend a decent widescreen monitor under $200?

That looks great, alexlyc, however, that videocard seems a bit much. I would prefer something around the $150 range, because I still need to buy a monitor. I don't really need the wifi from the mobo (I already have an extra wifi card), and if another one could be found for cheaper without the...

Wow, thanks! I suppose the main reason I don't want a laptop is that I feel you can make a better computer for less money. Those parts look great, however, you chose 1GB RAM, and I might buy two, seeing as I don't need a SATA hard drive (I have a 250GB one laying around). How much improvement...

Sorry for not being more specific before. I do play games occasionally, but I wouldn't factor that in. I don't have much use for the portability of a laptop, so I can't see the advantage of having one. If I can make a better PC for the same price, then that is what I would prefer. I need...

I'm not sure I understand what you said, but I would use the computer as a media center (videos, music, etc.), so I would like it to be moderately powerful, however, I would prefer to spend less than 1k on the system. Could you please suggest the kind of parts I would need? Thanks.

Hello, I'm leaving my current residence to go to school soon and I have two options: upgrade my existing computer (if it is worth it) or just build another one. Current Specs: -AMD Athlon 2800+ -1GB RAM (two full slots of 512, which is a bummer for upgrading) -NVidia GeForce FX 5200 (CPU...

It appears to be $200 - $110 rebate. It still looks like a decent deal.

Hey, I want/need to upgrade my computer. -My CPU (AMD Athlon 2800+) seems to be doing alright, I don't really see any need to replace it. -I have 1GB RAM (two slots of 512, kind of wasteful to upgrade) -I have an old cheap NVidia GeForce FX 5200 that I would like to replace I'm basically...
