If you need at least two IDE connectors, I'd suggest the following config:

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160
mobo: Asus P5LD2 rev 2
RAM: 2GB (2x1GB) Wintec AMPO DDR2-800
PSU: This one if you live near a Fry's B&M; this one if not.

TOTAL w/PSU from Fry's: ~$330-$25 MIR=$305
TOTAL w/PSU from Newegg: $314.10

I have no idea, other than NewEgg is just over-priced, bigtime. I order a lot of memory from Outpost.com, and I have ordered that Patriot a couple of times, its retail, and its good stuff.
