Whatever the price/parts, be sure to use www.pricewatch.com to get a
ballpark dollar amount on the same components at other shops around the
country.

Personally, I recently bought a Duron 750 barebones on a PcChips810 board w/
built-in video, sound, Lan and modem.  I've been VERY happy with the
performance even in 3d realms; however, I advise you to go with the
golden-orb-style heatsink and fan combo as the Durons run hot.
