You mean a barebones kit? Check these out! Just search a little and you can find a bunch that are $200 or less.

Thats a fairly good one. If running vista you def want another gig of ram though. But, ram is cheap now days anyways.

Try to stay away from logisys power supplys. They are extremely cheap, and low quality. I have one here for testing only, and i tell ya.. i would never trust it to run a complete system. I wouldn't cheap out on the power supply, with one that cheap, if it goes, it can take the whole computer with it.
