Built a new machine this month. Totally from the ground up, reused nothing from previous PCs except for a monitor, mouse and keyboard. First time I've done that since 2000. Components:

•Antec P160 Case w/120mm Nexus intake, stock 120mm Antec exhaust fans•Enermax Noisetaker EG701AX-VE 600W power supply•AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1MB L2•Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe•Thermalright XP-120 heatsink w/Nexus 120mm fan•2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT•2x BFG 6800GT OC in SLI•74GB Western Digital Raptor 10K RPM SATA HDD•300GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA HDD•Lite-On SOHD-16P9SBLK IDE DVD-ROM•Plextor PX-716SA/SW SATA DVD-RW•Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum•Canon CanoScan 4200F scanner
Three monitor setup:
Center: Mitsubishi 2070SB-BK 22" CRT (leftover from older PC)
Left & Right: 2x Sceptre X9 Naga III 19" 8ms LCD monitors (new)

Got all of it from Newegg, except the XP-120 and the Nexus fans which came from jab-tech.com.

I'm also using a leftover Logitech dual-optical mouse and some $29 Microsoft keyboard.
