newegg is FINE i guess but this is what i paid for my parts from a link from the
www.pricewatch.com site
gigabyte motherboard with AMD 64 'dual core' 2.0 ghz cpu and cooling fain: $115 shipped
2 sticks of 2 gig 800 mhz memory for 17.99 x 2 with free shipping
500w power supply 32 bucks at a local PC parts store
mid ATX tower case (black with front audio/usb) 45 bucks at local pc parts store

since i kept things like my DVD burner and 2 HD drives and floppy drive kept the cost way down.
