Even though on a tight budget, but you still want the best proformance:

Heres my final spec already shipping:
[ ] $380.00 Shuttle XPC SN25P
[ ] $546.00 Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (2.2 GHz 1MB Per Core 90nm 939)
[ ] $150.00 OCZ Gold Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel OCZ4001024ELDCGE-K
[ ] $130.00 GIGABYTE GV-NX66T128D Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI-Express x16 Video Card
[ ] $60.00 HITACHI Deskstar 7K80 HDS728080PLA380 -0A30356 80GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA II Hard Drive - OEM
[ ] $49.00 NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3520A BK - OEM

Grand Total (with S&H and Tax): $1347.25
 
wow, $1350 for just the box (no display) is being on a "tight budget"?

whats the point of this anyway?
 
You gotta weigh it against performance and good looks (SN25P). This setup I made beats majority/all of ready-made computers (dell, alien, etc).
 
I wouldnt be in a hurry for an X2 on a tight budget- neither your ram nor your GPU do it justice- I'd put in a GT and 2GB (PDP makes some good low latency 1GB sticks). Also, ditch the deathstar for a seagate- reliability always wins in such a confined environment (power and heat wise).

Just my thoughts, been looking into building one of these myself.
 
id cut the x2 and get a 3000+ 939. Then you can use the spare cash to get an x800 PRO or some other better card. and youd still save some money.
