So for the self built PCs, I've just built the one below for a friend:
Asus P3C2000 motherboard
Intel PIII 550 CPU
Quantum 10.2 HDD
128 MB Century PC133 DIMM
Asus 3800 TNT2 32 meg display adapter
Asus T5A-B case
Microsoft Internet keyboard (OEM)
Logitech Mouseman Wheel mouse
FlyTV 98 FM TV-Radio Card
Sound Blaster Live sound card (OEM)
Diamond Supra 56K internal modem
Asus 50x CD-ROM
ADI 4P 15" monitor
and other cheap stuff like speakers, floppy drive and NIC, all for 1500
USD including HP DeskJet 840C printer
She is new to computers, so non-problem, tested (by myself) and quite
quality staff is much of the concern than performance.
I'm sure the prices there in US is much more better than the ones in
here, so you (Bram) can compile a better one with better prices, but the
keypoint here is the machine is the one you built yourself is always the
best. I don't care what brand plate is placed on the case, but it's
important what are the brands of components inside of it.
