Tyan Tiger Dual mobo -
2 x 1.2Ghz MP Athlons
512 Megs of DDR (to start with)
AsusTek Geforce3 DDR Pure
ATX full tower with 400 watts power supply
Maxtor 7200 RPM 40 GB
All the above less than $1200
This is the system I am currently building! I already have the mobo and ram still waiting on the Procs. I haven't made a definitive decision on the vid card yet. I have a geforce 2, think I will use it and see how it runs. I will be using this setup to host CS at home using @Home.
I bet I wont be missing the pistol rounds anymore!!

* AMD Athlon Revision C 1.4GHz (266FSB)
* Asus A7M266, dated 6/12/2001 or later. You can substitute the A7M with either an A7V266 Mobo (with the latest Via KT266 Chipset), an A7N266 (with nVidia's N-Force Chipset), or the upcoming A7S266 (with the SIS 735 Solo Chipset), but I would highly recommend an Asus A7M for now, since that's what I'm using
---NOTE: When you run your computer for the first time, set the multiplier at 10.5x, the External Bus at 133MHz (This will give you 1.4GHz Firepower), leave the System Performance to Normal (for full, optimal instruction execution), and set the default Graphics Port to AGP. ------
* nVidia GeForce2 MX400 (Not as robust as the GeForce3 or GeForce3Ti 500, but should still be fine). A Visiontek GeForce3 would cost less than $300 at AVLogic.com (Shipping Included). You can get an Asus GeForce Card if you want, but because you are paying for the Asus name, Asus's GeForce cards are more expensive than certain GeForce cards.
* Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound Card or Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Sound Card (I would recommend a Turtle Beach Sound Card)
* Enlight EN-72370AZ Mid-Tower ATX Case, with Enlight's AMD-Approved 340W Power Supply
* IBM 41GB Deskstar 7200RPM UDMA/ATA100 Hard Disk Drive or Western Digital Caviar 7200RPM 40GB UDMA/ATA100 Hard Disk Drive
* 12x DVD-ROM Drive and a 16/10/40 CD-RW (Set the CD-RW to Master and the DVD-ROM to Slave)
* 512MB PC2100 Samsung Branded DDR SDRAM, I highly recommend that you place some Heat Spreaders on it.
Any more "things" you want to discuss, just PM me.
