k, here are the changes.
1GB 1X512 valueselect corsair ram $66.25
rebate)[/URL] WD 80gb SATA hard drive $51
FSP 450wattt PSU - very reliable $51
case $30
venice 3200+ $158
better mobo, asus $81
good vid card, 7600gt, $190 + $15mail in rebate
i added a dvd-burner (if you need it..)
total: $667.22 - 15 mail in rebate.
ok so i went a bit over budget. you could tak eout the dvd burner or w/e. if 80GB is not enough, then another $45 will get you a solid 250gb hard drive.. hehe. what i mainly did was upgrade the video card, and the overall quality of the parts.. (mainly mobo.. since TUL isn't well known)
even if you went with the previous $500 rig, they're both good.
as for the case, it all depends on your taste. i put a good cheap one. if you like a different one just get it.
