I've always wanted to test my building skills on computers, so this is a perfect opportunity. I want to build a bare-basic tower with just the essentials to run an all the latest Linux distros out there. I'm looking for a few baseline requirements to build this machine as cheaply as possible. I'm gonna try to keep it around $200, b/c I've already got a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. So I'm looking for a cheap, but good mobo, case, processor, cd/rw drive, floppy, hard drive... just the bare basics. Just need to know the min reqs for all the current distros so I can try a few.
Also, if any of you have an old tower lying around that has at least a newer PIII or older P4, let me know... I'm interested!!!
