I need the following hardware... I want it as cheap as possible so please give me the vendors which I should order from and the prices.

What I Need:

1200/1333mhz K7 DDR 266FSB
Heatsink/Fan
CASE - At least 4 Bays
20 gig HD ATA 100/7200RPM
256mb PC 2100 Ram
MOBO DDR - Upgradeable (Lots of IDE/Memory slots)
Radeon DDR 64mb (TV-in, TV-out, VIVO)
DVD Drive (12x/16x) (I'm looking at a bundle on mwave.com 12x aopen dvd +yamaha sound card +speakers w/ subwoofer $85)
CDRW (at least 12x write)
regular Keyboard
19" Monitor .25 or .26 dpi, at least 75ghz, at least 1600 X 1200 res

(I currently have a CDRW RICOH 7040 @ 7060, floppy drive, yamaha sound card, mouse, network card, and winmodem. So I could live w/out those parts). If I left anything out, feel free to add or suggest something, I'll take into consideration.

I Will order everything, as soon as you guys can provide me w/ the needed info. Thanks.
 
Why don't you do some reasearch yourself.
There are plenty of ways to find cheap prices, like pricewatch.com

 
I'm not gonna give you the exact places to buy these things, but I will recommend newegg.com, crazypc.com, bunta.com, directron.com, crucial.com, and searching BestBuy or CompUSA (real stores) for rebates/deals.

Epox 8K7A mobo
AMD TBird 1.2/1.33 Ghz OEM
A Taisol or Alpha HSF (Socket A compatible of course)
Crucial DDR Ram (256MB)
IBM 60GXP HD (are you SURE you only need 20GB?!?!?)
Plextor Plexwriter
Pioneer or Aopen DVD
Samsung 955DF Monitor
 
Xenon14,

If you're looking for VIVO capabilities, go with the Gainward GF3 Power Pack.. they've got a model with VIVO. Skip on the Radeon's buggy drivers if at all possible (speaking from experience). I was pleased with newegg and their shipping is reasonable...
