...well, I don't want to spend much more than 450 dollars for the computer. I DON'T want it with monitor, cd-rom, cdrw, dvd, dvd-rw, modem and all that. I just want the motherboard, processor, 512 ram, nVidia geforce 4 mx 440 128mb, 40 or 80GB harddrive, 400watt mid case (25 bucks). I would think that would be quite a few dollarz to spend on the processor and the motherboard.
