A64 3000+ S939 $107.40

Biostar Tforce 6100-939 $74.25

2 x 512MB Crucial Ballistix $88

I'd rather stay away from value RAM, which will only save me $10 tops.

Seagate 7200.9 80GB SATA HD $57.90

Chaintech AV-710 $27.99

The onboard audio on the Biostar doesn't play nice with Linux.

Lite-On DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive $27.99

Fortron AX450-PN $50.99

Samsung Floppy Drive $6.99

100ft CAT5E Cable

This is a standard ethernet cable, right?

Logitech Internet Pro Keyboard and Optical Mouse $22

Everything with shipping comes out to around $490. Anything to improve with this budget, or any way to shave the price?

I'm going to pick up the Acer AL1916ASD 19" LCD Monitor from Staples right now for ~$150AR.

I already have a Cooler Master Praetorian (older model) lying around that I'll throw this all in.

Thanks.
