  I built an Athlon 550 with 384megs of PC 133 memory and an FIC mobo
   with DVD and CD_R_RW for under $600 last year with all parts from
  Tiger Software. Works great! I would like to build another PC but this one
is working so well, I can't justify it. Right now Tiger has a
  1 gig Athlon for 800 buck and you could get a 19 in monitor with the
computer for a little over $1000 bucks. Check it out before youbuild one.
     Good Luck,
