Well, after a long wait, my parents finally let me purchase my computer parts. I found an Opteron 146 brand new on Ebay for $200 (hopefully that turns out well). I decided to drop the 165 because I couldn't fit that into my budget because I was told I'd have to pay for the entire thing myself. Anyway, here is the final spec list for those interested:
Case: NZXT LEXA-NP Black/Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Power Supply:Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 500W Power Supply
Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor: AMD Opteron 146 2.0GHz Processor
CPU Fan & Heatsink: ZALMAN CNPS7000B-Cu LED 2 Ball Blue LED Light Cooling Fan
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM System Memory
Video Card: eVGA GeForce 6800GS 256-P2-N386 Video Card

Floppy Drive: NEC Black Internal Floppy Drive Model FD1231H-302

Hopefully near the end of next week all of this will be in so I can get started on my build. Whee! Total price: $988.37 (not including video card which I already have).
