if you go with the shuttle, you'll need ddr memory. |

never mind. I like the Athlon above 
I've seen the Antec SX830 on sale at Best Buy for $79 from time to time (actually $99 with a 20 in-store rebate). I didn't see a HS in the list, but thats less than $20.

You choose wise my son, but cough up another 75 for 256M of RAM. Might as well use DDR to get the most use out of the system.

It all depends on what games you wanna play. Solitaire doesn't really need the GeForce, AthlonXP, or DDR mojo. And do you already have a network card or modem? What do you want to keep from your old comp? Are you keeping the CD drive and the soundcard? Speakers? Please be more specific. |

The reason I did not add DDR memory and a HSF or a case, because those are usually defined by the user.... Not by another user.

yes, but your suggestion for the m/b dictated the type of ram. |

Seems ridiculous to spend $100 for a video card for an occasional game (and he didn't even specify *which* games.) For an occasional non-serious game player that doesn't really care about fps or how fast you can overclock video or video ram, something like a GeForce2 MX would even be a bit of overkill. Why not get a mb with halfway decent built-in AGP (or even PCI) video and spend the difference on some extra RAM? |
