I'm not looking to make it on the cheap. The intent is general purpose, internet use. I also need a DVD writer.

A number would be useful, cheap is a subjective term

Okay. I'll put it a different way, if you were building a PC, what would you put in it?

LOL that could be an interesting question... If I had the cash lets say Nvidia 6800U in sli... 2 opterons... 3 monitors one of which is widescreen (that one would be hooked up to the sil. the other 2 could be on a third (or fourth)video card...) 8 raptors in raid 0+1... (this is fun!)...
I could go on forever but for cost effectiveness and only going internet and burning Dvd's an amd sempron might not be bad. Add 512Mb or ram and a 250Gig harddrive and you should be pretty good.

You can look at the computer I chose to build in my sig. I have a feeling you not planning on spending that much. The point the last poster and I trying to make is you really have to give us a ballpark figure of how much you willing to spend.
