amd durons are pretty cheap 60$ and you can get a awesome red motherboard dor 30$ brand new and a heat sink for 10-20$ you wont need much more then 256mb of ram if its just a day to day computer wich is about 20$ but if you want to do some minor gameing then id say go with 512 for about 40$.

Sry its over by 23 dollars/and also after MIR. Hope you don't have to pay tax! And Shipping!
This deal ends today because the HD after rebates ends today. Also, if you feel lucky, you can always go for a cheapo power supply/case. Could save you 30-40 dollars, which you could use to cover some stuff.
