Ok, I hope I don't make anybody sick with this... Depending on what you already have, you may be able to turn it into a top of the line computer, for as little as $200. I just upgraded mine about a month ago. It's now an AMD XP 2000, with new board and 1gb (Corsair DDR 2700). Total cost: $302.59 (after shipping). That was a month ago, the prices have already dropped. Heck, I'm willing to bet, somebody can do better. ~DM
