Good philosophy...

I think it was Dell who had a nice system on sale for like 999. That included everything. Pentium III processor, monitor, printer and everything else needed.

You've already got the monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc..

Mid Tower INWIN-501 250W (w/Ballbearing fan) UL ATX $51.50
Gigabyte GA-7ZXR3-RAID 0/1 KT133 4XAGP (6P,3D) ATX $124.00
AMD K7 Duron 1000MHz (OEM) $76.00
Mitsumi Floppy Drive 1.44 MB $11.25
SDRAM PC133 512MB Micron / Infinion 6Layer $49.50
IBM 40GB 7200rpm IDE (U100) $115.00
Creative 52X IDE - Internal $34.50
Abit Siluro MX400 64MB AGP No TV Out (Ret) $73.00

TOTAL $534.75

Here's what you can do to cut back costs on the system
Uses floppy from old computer -$11.25
Use CD-ROM from old computer -$34.50
Use old hard drive from old computer -$115.00
TOTAL AFTER $374.00

Don't cut back on memory though. The hard drive in that pricing is 7200RPM ATA/100. It will be much faster than the one in your current system. If you watch the Sunday ads a bit you will find that CompUSA runs good deals on hard drives($115 isn't the best pricing) & cd-roms. The motherboard also supports RAID. This is all from 5O'Clock by the way.

The only thing I need now is.. Case w/300W PS, mother board, CPU w/Fan, and memory. I already have everything else..

I found a couple places on pricewatch that wanted $129 for 1.2 CPU/fan/motherboard, about $40 for 256 MB RAM, about $60 for case/PS

So Im looking at around $250 with shipping.. Thats not to bad..
